OUR TEAMLAB 1 WRITE-UPWARNING: All material presented here is highly suspectible to change by the write-up's authors. Final draft will be complete by Tuesday, 11:59 P.M. Independent and Dependent VariablesIndependent Variable: Lipopolysacchride (LPS) would be the variable the research team changes, because according to the ELISA data analysis provided, the levels of inflammotin in the blood sample analyzed were affected by a determined amount of the drug, 10 mg. The team will be able to deduce how inflammotin levels interact with a certain dosage of LPS by manipulating this variable. Dependent Variable: Inflammotin is the protein responsible for inflammation and is the central part of the experiment the team will conduct. This variable will fluctuate based on the dosage of LPS the research team will administrator to the test groups. Experimental DesignGroups
Age Age limit is between 60 to 70 years of age. The research team believes this is the prime demographic of elderly individuals whose personal health is adequate. These individuals are less likely to succumb to biological factors such as cell decay or organ failure, often from 71 years of age and older. Such issues may complicate the experiment.
10 subjects for each group, totaling 5 groups.
