Different profile of cytokine synthesis according to the severity of acute pancreatitis

Figure 1 Basal levels of pro- (A) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (B) in patients and healthy controls. ^aP < 0.05 vs others.

Figure 2 Cellular pre -activation status: comparison of basal levels of cytokines with those measured in the supernatant of non-stimulated cultures, in patients with severe (A) or mild AP (B), and healthy controls (C). ^aP < 0.05 vs others.

Figure 3 Cellular functional reserve: comparison of levels of cytokines measured in the stimulated cultures in patients with severe (A) or mild AP (B), and healthy controls (C). supernatant of stimulated whole blood cultures with values obtained in non-^aP < 0.05 vs others.

Figure 4 Cellular functional reserve represented as increments of all studied cytokines in patients. ^aP < 0.05 vs others.
