Figure 4From: Western diet enhances hepatic inflammation in mice exposed to cecal ligation and punctureToll-like receptor-4 expression. TLR-4 was assessed using pre-developed assays for real-time PCR and values were calculated using a comparative CT method according to the manufacturer instructions (Applied Biosystems). Data are presented as mean SEM of 5 observations/group. Statistical analysis was performed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparisons test. *p < 0.05 compared to sham controls; #p < 0.05 compared to corresponding CD-fed mice exposed to CLP.Back to article page
