Correlations of IL-6 release at 3, 24, and 48 h to both ambient (Am) and extracted (Ex) organic constituents. “Total” refers to the sum of all organics (n = 34) analyzed in Table 1. – indicates a missing value due to the constituent not being present in the extracted solution.
*, ▲
indicate a statistically significant correlation with p < 0.05 and <0.001, respectively
