Redox Responses in Patients with Sepsis: High Correlation of Thioredoxin-1 and Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Plasma Levels

Figure 4

Strong correlation between TRX1 and MIF plasma levels in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock at the onset of sepsis syndrome. The scatter plot visualizes concentrations of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF; (pg/ml)) as well as accompanying concentrations of Thioredoxin-1 (TRX1; (ng/ml)) from patients with severe sepsis or septic shock at the onset of sepsis syndrome ($t0$) (“Sepsis,” $n=15$, black circles). Abbreviations: MIF, Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor; TRX1, Thioredoxin-1.
