Interleukin-8 secretion induced by exposure to glycol-derived compounds. IL-8 secretion (ELISA, in pg/ml) of human T24 cells exposed during 48 hours to increasing osmolarities (300, 600, 900 mOsm) of different compounds: A) Mannitol (300 mOsm [141.23–287.79]; 600 mOsm [246.83–378.69]; 900 mOsm [703.31–1100.9]); B) Propylene Glycol (300 mOsm [141.23–287.79]; 600 mOsm [360.62–568.54]; 900 mOsm [682.24–1084.7]); C) Glycerol (300 mOsm [141.23–287.79]; 600 mOsm [373.93–590.49]; 900 mOsm [816.79–1141.7]). For each group, the horizontal bar is the median. Upper values represent the global p-values (Kruskal-Wallis test). The p-value given by the Tukey test above a stripchart indicates the result of the comparison of this group versus control. CI at 95% are given in parentheses (n = 5).
