Synoviocyte IL6 gene expression IL6 gene expression (mean log102^-ΔCT) for synoviocytes exposed to different treatment groups (for further information on treatment groups refer to Table 1). Error bars indicate 95% confidence interval. Asterisk (*) indicates significant difference (p < 0.05) with group 1 (control). Groups included are: control (group 1); mepivacaine (group 2); mepivacaine + morphine (group 3); mepivacaine + MgSO4 (group 4); mepivacaine + morphine + MgSO4 (group 5); morphine (group 6); MgSO4 (group 7); morphine + MgSO4 (group 8); bupivacaine (group 9); bupivacaine + morphine (group 10); bupivacaine + MgSO4 (group 11); and bupivacaine + morphine + MgSO4 (group 12).
