Figure 5.

Human plasma levels of Prx II and HA. A: the plasma levels of Prx II were significantly elevated in patients with milder grade fibrosis compared to those in normal controls. The plasma level of Prx II in the late stage fibrosis and early cirrhosis were reduced compared to that in the early stage, but still higher than the normal controls. B: a significantly elevated HA plasma level among the early cirrhosis patients compared to normal controls and fibrosis patients.

Compared to normal:* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01
