Fig. 5From: A serological biomarker of type I collagen degradation is related to a more severe, high neutrophilic, obese asthma subtype A Serum C1M levels were significantly increased in patients with uncontrolled asthma with a high blood neutrophil level (n = 53) compared to patients with controlled asthma and a low blood neutrophil level (n = 30) (p = 0.0387). B C1M was significantly increased in obese patients with high neutrophil levels and uncontrolled asthma (n = 20) compared to normal-weight patients with low neutrophil levels and controlled asthma (n = 15) (p = 0.0277). Data are presented as a Tukey box plot and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. Asterisks indicate statistically significance: *p < 0.05Back to article page
