Fig. 5From: Lipopolysaccharide mediates immuno-pathological alterations in young chicken liver through TLR4 signalingEffect of LPS stimulation on downstream molecules of TLR4 signaling and cytokines in chicken liver. Following intraperitoneal LPS stimulation in chicks at 0 h, 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, 72 h and 120 h, the expressions of MyD88, NF-κB, TNF-α, TGF-β and IL-1β genes were determined by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and normalized by the expression of actin beta (ACTB). The letter C represents saline (control) group and L represents LPS group. The numbers represent the hours after stimulation. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01Back to article page
