TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 levels from different sample locations. Values are logarithmically transformed (mean ± SD) and reflect all animals in the experiment (n = 30) from 0 to 5 hours. ANOVA for repeated measures, comparing individual sample locations over the whole experiment: a) TNF-α, *denotes the hepatic vein compared with the artery (p < 0.001), jugular bulb (p < 0.001) and portal vein (p < 0.001). b) IL-6, *^adenotes the artery compared with the hepatic vein (p < 0.001) and portal vein (p < 0.001), *^bdenotes the jugular bulb compared with the hepatic vein (p < 0.01) and portal vein (p < 0.01). c) IL-10, *denotes the artery compared with the hepatic vein (p < 0.001), portal vein (p < 0.001) and jugular bulb (p < 0.001).
