Table 1

The mean (±SD) value and results of statistical comparisons of endothelial cell-specific molecule-1 between the groups.

Parameters/groups	Controls	Meningioma	LGG	HGG	p value
ESM-1 (ng/mg protein)	9.66 ± 1.45	11.8 ± 1.62	13.9 ± 2.90	16.1 ± 2.59
Comparisons
Controls versus meningioma					0.001
Controls versus low-grade gliomas					0.0001
Controls versus high-grade gliomas					0.0001
Meningioma versus low-grade gliomas					0.01
Meningioma versus high-grade gliomas					0.0001
