Quantitative Luminex-based analysis of plasma factors. Mean values of plasma factors concentrations. Il-10 interleukin 10, IL-1β interleukin 1 beta, Il-6 interleukin 6, Il-8 interleukin 8, TNFα tumor necrosis factor α, GM-CSF Granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor, SDF-1 stromal cell-derived factor 1, VEGF Vascular endothelial growth factor, IL-1ra interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, MMP8 matrix metalloproteinase-8, CK-MB creatine kinase myocardial band, NT-proBNP N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide, TIMP-4 tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-4. Significant differences in post hoc testing were marked: *p < 0.05, between groups in corresponding timepoints; ^#p < 0.05 between a reference (preoperative sample No 1) value and analyzed timepoint value
