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

Figure 3

The hepatic content of TLR4 and AOAH decreased in the liver from CETP as compared to WT mice. Liver samples were harvested at 24 h and 48 h after CLP. TLR4 ((a) and (b)) as well as AOAH ((c) and (d)) protein expression was determined by Western blotting. Graph presented as mean ± SD of arbitrary units corrected by β-actin level ((a) and (b)); = 3–5, differences by one-way ANOVA, and . ((b) and (d)) Representative Western blot images of TLR4, AOAH, and β-actin protein expression.
