From: Increased AGE-RAGE ratio in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Ratio of the total AGEs/RAGEs. The proportion between total AGEs and RAGEs for each sample (IPF and controls) estimated after the semi-quantitative analysis (densitometry) from WB of AGEs and RAGE. Bars show the mean ± SD in both groups. The graph shows a considerable RAGE decrease in IPF samples, around 8.18-fold respect the control samples. Densitometry is measured by independent pair observers by using “MultiGauge image analyzer software Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test (**p < 0.01)
