IRI-induced increases in plasma cytokine concentrations are reduced by prior ultrasound treatment
| Treatment | Plasma Cytokine Concentrations (pg/ml) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IL-6 | IL-10 | LIF | IL-15 | MCP-1 | MIP-2 | TNF-α | |
| Sham | 61.9 | 6.7 | 2.3 | 14.9 | 23 | 4.4 | 8.2 |

Values are mean±SEM. P values are for comparisons between IRI and ultrasound plus IRI. n=5–6.
