Table 1. Plasma pro-inflammatory cytokine values, nitrate/nitrite, base excess and core temperature in characterization studies with tethered sham and fecal peritonitis mice (FP) at 24h.
Data shown as mean (sem) for nitrite/nitrate, base excess and temperature as normally distributed and median (interquartile range-IQR) for cytokine data.
| Sham* | FP* | |
|---|---|---|
| IL-1β (pg.ml−) | 0 (0;0) | 19 (2;171) |
| IL-6 (pg.ml−) | 234 (76;646) |
2060 (467;9150) |
| TNF-α (pg.ml−) | 0 (0;0) | 46 (5;136) |
| IFN-γ (pg.ml−) | 0 (0;21) | 135 (39;197) |
| Nitrite / Nitrate (μM) | 73 (6.8) | 110 (12.5) |
| Arterial base excess | −2.2 (0.6) | −11 (0.9) |
| Core temperature ( □C) |
37.1 (0.2) | 36.45 (1.1) |

There was a significant difference between sham and FP mice for all values shown (P < 0.05).
