Hyperglycemia Inhibits Complement-Mediated Immunological Control of S. aureus in a Rat Model of Peritonitis

Figure 7

Summary of hyperglycemic effects on humoral immune responses to S. aureus peritonitis. Hyperglycemia inhibited antibody and complement effector recruitment to the site of infection. Hyperglycemia inhibited complement opsonization of S. aureus and complement anaphylatoxin generation.
