Levels of ERK, pERK1/2, total Akt and pAkt after SEA or SWAP stimulation. Inter-stimuli comparisons for pERK1/2 and pAkt were evaluated by phospho-ELISA of the BD group: n = 4, NI: n = 5 and XTO: n = 5. The egg counts in the XTO group ranged from 20 to 96 eggs/g of stool (mean = 36 eggs/g). The bars represent the median and interquartile range. The Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's post- were performed for statistical analysis. The differences (p <0.05) are represented by an asterisk and are compared to the blood donor group (*). The results are expressed as pg/mL.
