Levels of circulating cytokines involved in inflammation and fibrosis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. The average fold change in cytokines in patients with Crohn’s disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC] before their operation compared with levels in healthy controls. Data are presented as fold changes when compared with the healthy controls [data table on graph]. Solid colour bars indicate cytokines significantly different in CD or UC compared with healthy controls. Associated p-values are presented in the bottom table. All experiments were completed in triplicate.
