Figure 1.
Box plots showing results from serum circulating markers. (a) Fibrinogen (mg/dL), (b) ACE (U/L), (c). LDH (U/L), (d) CRP (mg/L). Boxes show interquartile ranges. Lines in the boxes correspond to medians, and bars represent the lowest and highest values. Circles represent outliers. Student’s t-test in (a) and the Mann–Whitney U-test in (b–d) were applied. p values with significant differences between groups are indicated by horizontal lines.
