Results of between-group longitudinal comparisons of plasma levels of interleukins in study groups

	TIVA group (n=11) AUC^a	ISO group (n=11) AUC^a	p-Value
IL-32	7.53 (0.6)	3.80 (0.5)	1.000
TNF-α	733.9 (20.2)	668.7 (27.5)	0.066

AUC = area under the plasma concentration time curve

AUC was calculated having baseline as common reference point of plasma levels of interleukins; between - group longitudinal comparisons were performed using Delong test. p<0.001 was considered statistically significant
