    <p>Levels of the inflammatory cytokines MCP-1 (Fig 5A and 5B) and CINC-1 (Fig 5C and 5D) after exposure to fluid formulations (RL, HES balanced and HES saline, Fig 5A and 5C) and anions present in balanced solutions (5B and 5D). Results are presented as boxplot figures with medians and quartiles. Whiskers represent 5% and 95% confidence intervals.</p

    <p>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: <sup>a</sup>p≤0.001, <sup>b</sup>p≤0.01, <sup>c</sup>p<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.</p
