ELISA Development for Serum Hemeoxygenase-1 and Its Application to Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Figure 3

Comparison of serum HO-1 concentrations between patients with ARDS and normal control subjects. The patients with ARDS had significantly higher D0 HO-1 concentrations than the normal control subjects (75.4 ng/mL versus 31.7 ng/mL, ). The center bold line is the median value; the bottom and top of the boxes represent the 25th to 75th percentiles, respectively; and the whiskers are 95% confident intervals. ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome; HO-1, hemeoxygenase-1.
