Upregulation of mobilizing growth factors in serum. a Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), (c) angiopoietin (Ang)-2 and (e) stromal cell-derived factor 1α SDF-1α concentrations were detected in the serum of healthy volunteers (n = 15), non-septic intensive care unit (ICU) patients (n = 11) and septic patients (n = 30). b, d, f The group of septic patients was also divided by survival and serum concentrations of the three mobilizing factors are indicated. The results are expressed as ± SD; * marks a significant difference (p < 0,05)
