Putative Systemic Biomarkers of Biomass Smoke-Induced Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease among Women in a Rural South Indian Population
Table 2
Summarized representation of the significantly different serum cytokine and chemokine concentrations [median (25th–75th percentile) pg/ml] between TS-COPD versus TS-CONTROL and BMS-COPD versus BMS-CONTROL groups. TS-CONTROL: tobacco smokers without COPD; BMS CONTROL: biomass smoke exposed without COPD; TS-BMS-CONTROL: no tobacco- and no biomass smoke-exposed subjects; was considered as statistically significant.
