Does the preoperative fasting period affect the liver in a distant organ model of renal ischaemia reperfusion?

- Variation of cytokine levels in pre-op and post-op blood of rats. A) Statistically significant difference was determined between the groups in respect of postoperative IL-10 levels (p=0.020) with significantly lower levels determined in Group C than in Groups A and B (p=0.021). B) Within the groups, there was no statistically significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative IL-6 levels according to Bonferroni correction (p>0.167). C) Within the groups, there was no statistically significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative TNF-α levels according to Bonferroni correction (p>0.167). D) According to Bonferroni correction, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in respect of preoperative IL-1β levels (p=0.028). IL-6: interleukin 6, IL-10: interleukin 10, TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor alpha, Pre-op: preoperative, Post-op: postoperative, IL-1β: interleukin-1 beta
