Figure 3

Effects of ECMO therapy on cerebral tissues mRNA expression of cytokines after 24 hour’s ECMO treatment. The mRNA levels of cytokine (IL-1, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-a) were assessed 24 hours post-ECMO treatment by Real-time PCR, as described in the Methods section. Results are reported as histograms representing the cytokine mRNA mean levels with SD. Asterisks inside the graphs indicate the significance of comparison with control group: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
