Figure 3. Elevated levels of CTGF in the AH of POAG patients.
A). The levels of CTGF (determined by ELISA) were significantly elevated in the AH of POAG patients compared to cataract subjects (n=27) based on the Mann Whitney U test. The data represent the median, 5% and 95% quartile range and each dot represents individual patients/subjects. B). While the correlation between AH CTGF levels and preoperative IOP in POAG patients was not statistically significant (Pearson Correlation Coefficient = 0.233, 95% CI = −0.162 to 0.563, p = 0.243), C). There was a significant correlation between the levels of CTGF and ATX in AH from POAG patients (Pearson Correlation Coefficient = 0.568, 95% CI = 0.240 to 0.780, p≤0.001).
