Figure 3.

Cytokines presented demonstrated a significant decrease from admission to post-admission day (PAD) five to seven in the group with inhalation injury and the group with no inhalation injury. (a) Serum IL-4 (normal IL-4: 0 ± 0 pg/ml). (b) Serum IL-6 (normal IL-6: 8.7 ± 5 pg/ml). (c) Serum IL-10 (normal IL-10: 1.4 ± 0.3 pg/ml). (d) Serum GM-CSF (normal GM-CSF: 0 ± 0 pg/ml). (e) Serum IFN-γ (normal IFN-γ : 1.4 ± 0.5 pg/ml). (f) Serum TNF (normal TNF: 0.7 ± 0.007 pg/ml). (g) Serum IL-1β (normal IL-1β : 0.91 ± 0.007 pg/ml). (h) Serum G-CSF (normal G-CSF: 1.2 ± 1.2 pg/ml). (i) Serum MIP-1β (normal MIP-1β : 37 ± 9 pg/ml). *Significant difference between admit and PAD 5–7 (p < 0.05). Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean. GM-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; G-CSF, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; IFN-γ, interferon-gamma; IL, interleukin; MIP-1β, macrophage inflammatory protein-1-beta; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.
