Figure 5.

Correlations between total receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) and endogenous secretory RAGE (esRAGE) and inflammatory transcripts. Spearman correlations were performed to assess the correlation between total RAGE transcripts and transcripts of the P65 subunit of NF-κB at baseline (A), correlation between total RAGE and HIF-1α transcripts at baseline (B), correlation between esRAGE transcripts and transcripts of the P65 subunit of NF-κB at baseline (C), and the correlation between esRAGE and HIF-1α transcripts at baseline (D). Linear regression line with dotted lines representing the 95% confidence intervals are presented.
