Associations among S100A4, Sphingosine-1-Phosphate, and Pulmonary Function in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Figure 3
The level of serum S1P in COPD patients and control cases and the relationship between serum S1P and pulmonary function in COPD patients. The level of serum S1P was detected through ELISA. (a) The level of serum S1P was compared in control cases and COPD patients ( for the CTRL group; for the COPD group). (b) The level of serum S1P was compared in COPD patients with different indices of pulmonary function ( for Grade 1-2 patients; for Grade 3 patients; and for Grade 4 patients). (c–f) The correlation of pulmonary function with serum S1P was evaluated via Pearson’s analysis among COPD patients. (c) S1P vs. FEV1. (d) S1P vs. FVC. (e) S1P vs. FEV1/FVC%. (f) S1P vs. FEV1%. All data were represented as (). , .
