Sex and treatment affect splenic LIFR and CD11b expression. (a) LIFR levels in the spleens from LIF-treated females () were significantly higher than those in the spleens from PBS-treated females (; ). However, there was no significant difference between the spleen weights from LIF-treated male rats () and the spleen weights from PBS-treated males (). for both sham groups. (b) CD11b levels were significantly higher in the spleens of PBS-treated male rats () compared to PBS-treated females (; ) and LIF-treated females (). However, there was was no significant difference between LIF-treated males () and LIF-treated females. for both sham groups.
