Serum Levels of miR-143 Predict Survival in Critically Ill Patients

Figure 1

Serum miR-143 levels of critically ill patients at ICU admission. (a) qPCR was used to determine concentrations of circulating miR-143 at admission to the ICU. This analysis revealed a trend toward lower miR-143 concentrations in critically ill patients () as compared with healthy controls (). (b) Serum miR-143 concentrations were independent of the disease severity. (c) Serum concentrations of miR-143 were similar in patients with or without diabetes mellitus type 2. (d) Serum concentrations of miR-143 were similar in patients with or without obesity.
