This figure shows the mean effect (± SEM) of either a high (125 mg/kg) (a), medium (12.5 mg/kg) (b) or low (1.25 mg/kg) (c) dose of hydrocortisone (HC) compared to diluent (controls) on blood levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα, MCP, MIP-1α, MIP-2, RANTES [all log10(pg/ml)] and nitric oxide [NO, log10(μM)] at 4 and 24 h for high-dose hydrocortisone and 4, 24 and 48 h for medium and low doses following the start of a 24 h peptidoglycan infusion. Down and upgoing going arrows indicate the amount that hydrocortisone decreased or increased, respectively, the parameter measured compared to control
