Variation of cytokines and comparison of their concentrations between two groups. a: Concentration of IL-1RA. b: Concentration of IL-1α. c: Concentration of IL-1β. d: Concentration of IL-6. e: Concentration of IL-17. f: Concentration of TNF-α. g: Concentration of IL-8. h: Concentration of MIP-1β. i: Concentration of GRO. j: Concentration of sCD40L. k: Concentration of VEGF. Legend: : Comparison between 2 groups. *: significant difference. **: non significant difference. IL: interleukin. IL-1RA: IL-1receptor antagonist. GRO: growth regulated oncogene. TNF: tumor necrosis factor. MIP: macrophage inflammatory protein. MCP: monocyte chemiotactic protein. sCD40L: soluble cluster differentiation 40 ligand. VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor. - The Significant difference means that the concentration of the cytokine between the two groups compared is statistically different with a p value less than or equal to 0.05. - The Non significant difference means that the concentration of cytokine between the two groups compared is not statistically different with a p value greater than 0.05
