IL-1β. (A) All mice that underwent CLP had elevated levels of IL-1β in the peritoneum regardless of puncture size. (B) The 18G-treated CLP model showed increasing circulating levels. Each value is the mean ± SEM for 6 to 10 mice. ∗, ∗∗, and ∗∗∗, P < 0.05 for 25G, 21G, and 18G treatment groups (versus sham treatment group). The SEM may be smaller than the symbol.
