Effects of anesthesia/surgery on serum inflammatory markers.
| Inflammatory markers | Sham (n = 10) | A + S (n = 10) | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| IL-6 (pg/ml) | 10.43 ± 0.70 | 10.52 ± 0.63 | 0.57 |
| IL-1β (pg/ml) | 13.05 ± 1.33 | 11.86 ± 1.81 | 0.08 |
| TNF-α (pg/ml) | 53.78 ± 4.71 | 54.77 ± 7.91 | 0.74 |
Data are shown as mean ± SEM (n = 10). p > 0.05 compared with the sham group. A + S: anesthesia/surgery.
