From: Is inflammation a consequence of extracellular hyperosmolarity?
Interleukin-6 secretion induced by exposure to glycol-derived compounds. IL-6 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 [115.47–171.73]; 600 mOsm [108.12–199.79]; 900 mOsm [600.56–716.47]); B) Propylene Glycol (300 mOsm [115.47–171.73]; 600 mOsm [183.87–207.27]; 900 mOsm [214.75–484.27]); C) Glycerol (300 mOsm [115.47–171.73]; 600 mOsm [178.71–205.97]; 900 mOsm [373.47–587.57]). 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).
