OUR TEAMLAB 1 WRITE-UPIndependent and Dependent VariablesThe independent variable would be the dosage, measure in milligrams, of the inflammatory drug (lipopolysaccharide), because this variable is purposefully changed during the experiment. The dependent variable would be the protein levels, measured using blood samples, because the protein levels are affected by the change in lipopolysaccharide dosage. Experimental DesignGroups Three groups of ten will be tested to determine the lowest possible dose of lipopolysaccharide to increase a newly discovered inflammatory protein found in the elderly. Each group will consist of 5 males and 5 females. Subjects of group 1 will be given a placebo to measure natural levels of Inflammotin, this will be the control group. Group 2 will be given 5 mg of lipopolysaccharide and group 3 will be given 10 mg of lipopolysaccharide.
Ages 60-85
10 subjects per group to provide variability for testing date, but no more than 10 test subjects due to insufficient funds for research.
Subject Selection- Elderly home volunteers with no underlining health conditions. - Volunteers who are not taking anti-inflammatory medications. - Ages 60-85 years old.
Sources of Error and BiasWe have five sources of error. Diet, prior medication, and genetics.
