In contrast, between TRX1 and IL-6 plasma levels as well as between MIF and IL-6 plasma levels in septic patients, no significant correlations could be observed at the onset of sepsis (TRX/IL-6, t0: rsp = 0.143, ρ = 0.106; MIF/IL-6, t0: rsp = 0.029, ρ = 0.127) and 24 hours later (TRX/IL-6, t24: rsp = 0.107, ρ = 0.087; MIF/IL-6, t24: rsp = 0.310, ρ = 0.232). This evidence concerns the gene MIF and Sepsis.
