Regulation of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL1 and IL6, their receptors and toll-like receptor 2 and 4 in fresh versus cultured TG tissue. The interleukin receptors are upregulated following tissue incubation, whereas the interleukins are down-regulated after incubation. The toll-like receptors are downregulated after tissue incubation. Data were analysed using unpaired t test and results are presented as ±standard error of the mean (SEM) **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
