Changes of Tbx21, Gata3, Rorc and Foxp3 mRNA expression in MLNs. a) Expression of Tbx21 mRNA at 24 hr study period in MLNs. b) Expression of Gata3 mRNA at 24 hr study period in MLNs. c) Expression of Rorc mRNA at 24 hr study period in MLNs. d) Expression of Foxp3 mRNA at 24 hr study period in MLNs. Four types of transcriptional factors for CD4+ T lymphocytes were analyzed by two-way ANOVA for interaction between factor A (control versus endotoxemia) and factor B (normoglycemia versus hyperglycemia). Ninety five percent confidence intervals for each four factors were also presented. If the interaction between two factors didn’t exist, independent effects of these two factors were confirmed. If the interaction existed, comparison of two groups were performed using Student’s t-test separately in the Control group (CN vs CH) and the Endotoxemia group (EN vs EH). Abbreviation; CN: control with normoglycemia group, CH: control with hyperglycemia group, EN: endotoxemia with normoglycemia group, EH: endotoxemia with hyperglycemia group. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. White and black bars indicate control and endotoxemia group, respectively. P values described in the figure indicates those obtained by post hoc test
