Effect of COPD on the concentration of chemokine CXCL12 in blood serum.

Notes: The chemokine level was analyzed in serum samples from all patients with COPD and healthy donors (A) as well as from donors divided according to smoking status (B) and obstruction stage (C). The asterisks indicate a significant difference as compared with the Con group. The results are derived from the chemokine measurements in sera obtained from 92 patients with COPD and from 44 healthy volunteers. The results are expressed as mean ± SEM.

Abbreviations: Con, control; GOLD, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease; SEM, standard error of the mean.
