Comparison of ADMA (a) and L-arg (b) measurements as well as the resulting ratio of both (c) in healthy volunteers (𝑛=30, black continuous line), patients following major abdominal surgery (𝑛=30, short dashed line) and patients with septic shock (𝑛=60, long dashed line). Data in line charts are given as medians and the 95% CI. Concerning symbolism and higher orders of significance: 𝑃<0.05: *, 𝑃<0.01: **, 𝑃<0.001: ***, n.s.: not statistically significant.
