OUR TEAM Name: Joshua Kahn Name: Kassandra Flores Name: Cesar Marin Name: Brady Dennison Name: Danielle Beach Name: Theodore Kyriacou LAB 1 WRITE-UP Independent and Dependent Variables The independent variable would be the amount of Lipopolysaccharide given to each subject. The dependent variable is the levels of inflammotin (the protein) in each person. Experimental Design Groups There will be a total of nine groups in the experiment. Each trial group will receive a different amount of Lipopolysaccharide. There first group will receive nine mg of Lipopolysaccharide, the second group will receive eight mg of Lipopolysaccharide, and so on until the 9th group receives only one mg of Lipopolysaccharide. Age The age range for our subjects will be anywhere from 65 years of age and above. Number of subjects per group There will be 10 people for each group, randomly selected based on general criteria. Subject Selection The appropriate test subjects for this experiment would be people who are sixty-five or older, and healthy. Sources of Error and Bias All subjects must be elderly, healthy, and should be tested on their inflammotin levels so their natural levels are the same and will not affect our measurements.
