Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in T lymphocytes and neutrophils from peripheral blood sampled during the initial phase of sepsis (T0–T2), after the acute inflammatory phase (T3), after recovery (T4), and from healthy subjects (HS). GR expression was determined by flow cytometry as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) and normalized to an internal standard. a Plots represent group means (black) and individual patients (gray). b Patients divided into groups as glucocorticoid (GC)-treated and non-treated. Two patients were GC-non-treated until T2 and T3, respectively. c Patients divided into groups as survivors and non-survivors at 180 days. Difference between patients and healthy subjects (HS) was tested using the two-tailed Mann-Whitney test. *p < 0.05
