Changes in inflammatory mediator expression of the liver.

The table shows B coefficients (95% confidence intervals) of the linear regression. Animals which received solely Ringers' lactate were used as reference group. mRNA expression is expressed as a fold-difference relative to the reference group. The different fluid ingredients (HES, gelatin, and acetate buffer) were entered as binary independent predictors in the regression model. Significance: ap≤0.001, bp≤0.01, cp<0.05; CINC-1  =  cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1; MCP-1  =  monocyte chemoattractant protein-1; TNFα  =  tumor necrosis factor α; ICAM-1  =  intercellular adhesion molecule-1.
