Analyze the effects of protein on the decrease of inflammation over a period of a year. This experiment is voluntary. Groups Control Group: Elderly people without lipopolysaccharide Experimental Group 1: 1 mg of lipopolysaccharide Experimental Group 2: 2 mg of lipopolysaccharide Experimental Group 3: 4 mg of lipopolysaccharide Experimental Group 4: 6 mg of lipopolysaccharide Experimental Group 5: 8 mg of lipopolysaccharide Age Elderly (65-80). Assigned randomly from groups 1-6 Number of subjects per group 12 people per group; 6 female, 6 male Subject Selection Randomly selected by rolling a dice (number rolled corresponds with the group you're in, 6 is control group) within each of the genders. Sources of Error and Bias Age, prior medication, gender, prior health issues Controls for age: randomization Controls for prior medication: list medications prior to experiment Controls for gender: matched pair design Controls for prior health issues: fill out a survey/check medical records prior to experiment
