(A) Lung CBG expression measured by RT-PCR and (B) lung CBG protein levels measured by western blot.

<p>Females had significantly lower levels of CBG protein than males without differences in the expression levels. Only in mice males the both parameters were increased by induction of pancreatitis. A residual expression and levels of CGB were detected in <i>cbg</i>^<i>-/-</i> mice. C refers to control mice and P refers to pancreatitis mice. Two way Anova: Lung CBG expression: Treatment P = 0.0182, Sex P<0.0001, Interaction P = 0.0188; lung CBG levels: Treatment P = 0.4544, Sex P<0.0001, Interaction P = 0.0009; Bonferroni Post test: * P<0.05 control vs pancreatitis; + P<0.05 male vs female; • P<0.05 <i>cbg</i>^<i>+/+</i> vs <i>cbg</i>^<i>-/-</i>.
