Figure 3From: Estrogen aggravates inflammation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia in cystic fibrosis mice E2 treatment is correlated with an increase in Toll Like Receptor (TLR) 2 and IL-23/IL17A mRNA levels. E2 increased (A) TLR2 (* p < 0.05), but not (B) TLR4 mRNA levels (p ns, n = 5). E2 also increased (C) IL-23 and (D) IL-17A (p < 0.05), but not (E) IL-17F (p > 0.05, n = 5)Back to article page
