(a) Densitometric analysis of sRAGE levels detected by Western blot in APS patients (), subjects with pregnancy morbidity (), and healthy donors (). Bars represent the mean values; error bars indicate SD. . (b) sRAGE levels were detected by Western blot in PAPS () and SAPS patients (). NS: not significant. (c) Scatter plot analysis of serum sRAGE levels versus serum HMGB1 levels in subjects with pregnancy morbidity. Statistically significant correlation was found between sRAGE and serum HMGB1 levels (, ).
