LPS regulates the expression of GRα in PBMC from healthy individuals. PBMC from healthy individuals were cultured with LPS for 24 h. The expression of GRα and GRβ was determined by Western blot. a The median values of three different experiments, plotted as values relative to control are shown. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01. b Western blot of total proteins of PBMC stimulated at different concentrations of LPS are shown
