ECLS treatment increased the plasma levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines compared with the sham group. The pro-inflammatory cytokines were (a) interleukin-6 (IL-6), (b) tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and (c) C-reactive protein (CRP); (d) the anti-inflammatory cytokine was interleukin-10 (IL-10). Bar diagrams (mean ± SEM) depict summarized data. Data represent n = 11 in the sham and NC + ECLS groups and n = 7 in the CA + ECLS group. CA + ECLS: asphyxial cardiac arrest rats rescued by ECLS; ECLS: extracorporeal life support; NC + ECLS: normal rats treated with ECLS; Sham: normal rats that did not receive ECLS treatment; T120: 120 min after reperfusion
