Changes in plasma-free and esterified isoprostane (F2-IsoP) levels in response to exercise training in COPD patients and SHS and the relation to the angiogenic process. a Effect of exercise training on plasmatic levels of F2-IsoP in COPD and SHS. Linear mixed-effect model: T: Time effect, G: Group effect. Pre-training: COPD: n = 9, SHS: n = 5; Post-training: COPD: n = 8, SHS: n = 6. Data are presented as Mean ± SE. b Correlation between the pre-to-post training variations of plasmatic F2-IsoP levels and the pre-to-post training variations in Pc/EC interdigitation occurrence in COPD patients (grey circles) and SHS (white circles)
