The levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (a), interleukin 6 (IL-6) (b), interleukin 10 (IL-10) (c) and interleukin 10/TNF-α ratio (d) during the experiment. All animals were subjected to an E. coli infusion for 3 h starting at 0 h. The SIRS group received endotoxin and the control group saline for 24 h before the bacterial infusion. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (standard error of the mean). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Difference between the SIRS vs. naive group. ‡‡‡p < 0.001. Difference between the control vs. naive group. All assessed with ANOVA III for repeated measurements
