From: Intra-cellular lactate concentration in T lymphocytes from septic shock patients — a pilot study

Fig. 5

Intra-cellular lactate concentration in T lymphocytes in healthy volunteers versus septic shock patients. T lymphocytes were purified from 10 healthy donors’ and 7 septic shock patients’ blood. After the purification process, 250,000 T cells were aliquoted, lysed, and deproteinised. One septic patient was too lymphopenic to harvest 250,000 T cells, leading to one missing data. Results are expressed as the quantity of lactate per well of the lecture plate, which contains 50 μL of the obtained cell lysate. Each point represents the mean of the duplicates for each donor. Data are also presented as Tukey boxplots (white for HV, grey for SS). Bottom and top of the box represent the first and third quartiles, respectively. The horizontal bar in the box represents the median value. Lower and higher extremities of the whiskers respectively represent the lowest datum still within 1.5 inter-quartile range (IQR) of the lower quartile, and the highest datum still within 1.5 IQR of the upper quartile
