  1. Measure unit: pg/ml for ascites and blood samples and pg/mg of protein for tissues’ samples
  2. Values reported are Log10 of the concentrations (mean ± standard deviation). Statistical differences found with multiple comparison are reported as * (p < 0.05) and ** (p < 0.01), both placed in the Edema group cell (the text is in bold to make the identification of differences between the groups easier)
