Fig. 5From: LPS regulates the expression of glucocorticoid receptor α and β isoforms and induces a selective glucocorticoid resistance in vitroGC Sensitivity Assay in transrepressed genes. PBMC from healthy individuals were cultured for 24 h with or without LPS, follow by DEX 100 nM and LPS 10 μg/ml for 6 h. IL-8 (a) and GM-CSF (b) content in the culture media was measure by ELISA. The median values of three different experiments, plotted as values relative to control are shown. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01Back to article page
