TGF-₁ (pg/mL) concentration in every blood component cultured with either MSSA or MRSA at 24 hours.

Blood components	MSSA	MRSA
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)	4544 (3916)^a	4032 (2116)^g
Platelet-rich gel (PRG)	4352 (2314)^b	3664 (1338)^b
Leukocyte-poor plasma (LPP)	3452 (1402)^c	3048 (1944)^c
Leukocyte-poor gel (LPG)	3248 (1240)^c	3356 (1666)^c
Plasma	1588 (1448)^d	2030 (1332)^d
Heat-inactivated plasma (IP)	1524 (1164)^e	1660 (1096)^e
PRP + NID	6688 (3548)^f	6688 (3548)^f
LPP + NID	4400 (1362)	4400 (1362)

Lowercase letters represent significant differences in the same column. ^aSignificantly different from LPP, LPG, plasma, and IP ( > 0.05) (0.001). ^bSignificantly different from LPG ( > 0.05), plasma, IP ( > 0.001), PRP + NID, and LPP + NID ( > 0.05) (0.001). ^cSignificantly different from IP, PRP + NID ( > 0.001), and LPP + NID ( > 0.01). ^dSignificantly different from PRP + NID and LPP + NID ( > 0.001). ^eSignificantly different from PRP + NID and LPP + NID ( > 0.001). ^fSignificantly different from LPP + NID ( > 0.01). ^gSignificantly different from plasma, IP, and PRP + NID ( > 0.001). NID: nonionic detergent.
