Figure 4. Plasma TNF-α Concentrations in TNF Producers and Nonproducers.
A dichotomy in the TNF-α response to reperfusion was observed in animals of both treatment groups. Fifty four percent of animals (n=15) demonstrated at least a doubling of TNF-α at 30 min post-arrest. *p < 0.002 compared to pre-arrest value. Data are mean ± SE.
