  1. Three individual donors are represented for each group. aBased on the Gene Ontology Database description and the literature (see references). Statistically significant P values are in bold. Group 2, lipopolysaccharide control; group 3, pretreatment and sustained treatment with lower molecular weight hyaluronan product; group 4, pretreatment and sustained treatment with higher molecular weight hyaluronan product.
