Changes in inflammatory mediator expression of the lung.

<p>The table shows B coefficients (95% confidence intervals) of the linear regression. Animals which received solely Ringers' lactate were used as reference group. mRNA expression is expressed as a fold-difference relative to the reference group. The different fluid ingredients (HES, gelatin, and acetate buffer) were entered as binary independent predictors in the regression model. Significance: ^ap≤0.001, ^bp≤0.01, ^cp<0.05; CINC-1 = cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1; MCP-1 = monocyte chemoattractant protein-1; TNFα = tumor necrosis factor α; ICAM-1 = intercellular adhesion molecule-1.
