ELISA of AGEs and sRAGE in serum blood from controls (CNT) and fibrosing ILDs. a and b ELISA for total AGEs and sRAGE showed significant differences between control group with IPF and cHP (*p < 0.01), and differences between fNSIP patients with IPF (#p < 0.01) and cHP (§p < 0.01) groups. However, there were no significant differences between IPF with cHP and control with fNSIP. c AGEs/sRAGE ratio estimated by ELISA was greater in IPF and cHP groups compared with control (*p < 0.01). The ratio also allowed to distinguish between IPF patients with cHP and fNSIP (#p < 0.05), and cHP with fNSIP group (§p < 0.01), whereas this did not distinguish between control and fNSIP patients. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA following by the appropriate post-hoc analysis
