Figure 2.
NATUREN G® reduces serum concentration of free IS only in the CKD group. The figure shows the serum levels of total PCS (A) and IS (B) and free PCS (C) and IS (D) in the CKD group (13 S and 10 P). (E–H) show the serum levels of total PCS, total IS, free PCS and free IS in the healthy volunteer group (10 S and 14 P). Only in the CKD group, at T2, free IS levels were significantly lower in the S-arm as compared with the P-arm (D). * p < 0.05 vs. placebo. Data are expressed with medians, interquartile ranges and minimum to maximum values, differences tested by Kruskal–Wallis multiple-comparison z-value test.
