Table 3. Cytokine effects of subdiaphragmatic branch stimulation vs SubD sham subgroup.

Blue cells indicate increases (↑), red cells indicate decreases (↓), and yellow cells indicate no noticeable change (♦) compared to SubD Sham subgroup levels. Colors are used for simplified interpretation and are not meant to signify changes as desirable or not.
Statistically significant changes in cytokine levels compared to sham group are identified.
#p < 0.1;
*p < 0.05;
**p < 0.01.
