CETP Lowers TLR4 Expression Which Attenuates the Inflammatory Response Induced by LPS and Polymicrobial Sepsis

Figure 1

Human CETP expressing mice are more resistant to polymicrobial sepsis than wild type mice. CETP and WT mice submitted to CLP and control mice were sham-operated on (). Survival rate study of mice monitored every 8 hours for 5 days after CLP. = 0.0267 by a log-rank test between CLP groups. Mortality rate in the sham group did not change.
