— Mean values of the various mesothelial cell products in culture for the study groups (all samples). We observed (A) significantly higher levels of interleukin 8 (IL-8, picograms per milligram) in supernatant in the standard fluid group; (A,B) similar levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), E-cadherin, fibronectin, and collagen I in both groups; and (C) no significant differences in protein levels (nanograms per milligram) of intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), procollagen I, and fibronectin in MC lysate.
