From: Omentin protects against LPS-induced ARDS through suppressing pulmonary inflammation and promoting endothelial barrier via an Akt/eNOS-dependent mechanism

Figure 1

Circulating omentin levels are associated with the inflammation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). (a) Plasma omentin concentrations were lower in patients with ARDS (n=38) than in healthy controls (n=35). (b) Higher omentin levels were observed in mild ARDS patients. (c) Higher omentin levels were maintained in survivors. The omentin levels were not correlated with the duration of ventilation (d), the length of RICU stay (e) and the length of hospital stay (f) in patients with ARDS. The omentin levels negatively correlated with white blood cells (g) and procalcitonin (h) in patients with ARDS. The data are presented as the mean±S.D. The lines indicate the mean value and the error bars indicate the S.D. *P<0.05
