From: The immune response after fracture trauma is different in old compared to young patients
Apoptosis. A TRAIL expression was immediately significantly reduced in the old patients compared to the healthy control. The reduction in the young patients was significant after surgery but not as distinct as seen in the old patients (p < 0.05, ANOVA on ranks). B FasL was significantly reduced in the young patients after trauma and surgery while no changes could be detected in the old patients (p < 0.05, Anova on ranks).
