View larger version (12K): [in a new window]   Figure 1. Effects of submucosal injections of albumin, TNF-, IL-1ß, and LPS on interstitial fluid pressure. Values are mean ± SE. n = 6 in every group. RM-ANOVA. *p < 0.05 compared with own control. p < 0.05 compared with 0–20 min in the same group. ¶ p < 0.05 compared with 1% BSA at same time interval.

Vi, interstitial fluid volume; Vv, intravascular fluid volume. Values are mean ± SE, n = 8 controls (0.9% NaCl with 0.1% BSA) and n = 6 LPS-treated rats (4 mg/kg b.w.).
