The expression of collagen I and collagen III in LF specimens from LSS and LDH patients. (a) Real-time PCR analysis showed that the relative mRNA levels of collagen I and collagen III in LF were significantly higher in LSS group than in LDH group. (b) Western blot analysis of collagen I and collagen III expression in LF from LSS and LDH groups. (c) The relative protein levels of collagen I and collagen III in LF were significantly higher in LSS group than in LDH group.
