  1. Values are given as mean ± SD. P-values are results of group effect in the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures. * denotes p < 0.05. TNF-α-tumor necrosis factor alpha, IL-6-interleukin 6, IL-10-interleukin 10. Transpulmonary: the difference in plasma levels between the artery and the hepatic vein, transhepatic: the difference between the hepatic vein and the portal vein, transsplanchnic: the difference between the portal vein and the artery, transcerebral: the difference between the jugular bulb and the artery
