Systemic bacterial translocation in AIA rats. Plasma LPS levels were measured in control and AIA rats at the preclinical (A), onset (B), and acute (C) stages. At day 4 (preclinical), 11 (onset), and 28 (acute) Q-RT-PCR analyses of TLR-4 (D,E,F) gene expression were performed. Serum-soluble CD14 levels were measured at the preclinical (G), onset (H), and acute (I) stages. Values are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 14/15 per group). ***(p < 0.0001). n.s., not significant
