Concentration of TGF-β1 (a), GRO-1 (b), TNFα (c), and IL-6 (d) in serum from the healthy volunteers (HV) and from the patients with varicose veins (VV). The measurements were made using appropriate ELISA kits. Results (expressed as means ± SEM) derive from experiments performed with sera from 24 individuals per group. Asterisk indicates significant difference as compared with HV.
