Plasma Heme Oxygenase-1 Levels in Patients with Coronary and Peripheral Artery Diseases

Figure 1

Plasma HO-1 levels and the presence of CAD or PAD. Plasma HO-1 levels tended to be higher in CAD than in CAD(−), but this difference did not reach statistical significance (a). In contrast, HO-1 levels were significantly lower in PAD than in PAD(−) (b). The central line represents the median, and the box represents the 25th to 75th percentiles. The whiskers represent the lowest and highest value in the 25th percentile minus 1.5 interquartile range (IQR) and 75th percentile plus 1.5 IQR, respectively.
