Nutritional supplement drink reduces inflammation and postoperative depression in patients after off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery

Figure 3 The levels of cytokines in serum and urine are shown. A: Interleukin-6 decreased significantly at 7^th postoperative day in both groups (P < 0.01), although there were no differences between the two groups; B: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha level was significantly lower in the Yunker group (P < 0.05); C: Adiponectin increased significantly in both groups, while there were no differences between the groups; D: No significant differences were observed in the levels of superoxide dismutase in both groups; E The ratio of urine 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine and creatinine decreased significantly in both groups, while there were no differences between the groups. ^aP < 0.05; ^bP < 0.01. TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha; SOD: Superoxide dismutase; 8-OHDG/Cre: 8-Hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine and creatinine; CTL: Control group; YKR: Yunker group.
