Fig. 7: Serum calcium levels are negatively correlated with the severity of PQ poisoning-induced ALI progression.

A retrospective analysis of the correlation between PQ and serum calcium (Ca2+) levels. A Mean ± SD, ***P < 0.001; unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test. n = 22 in healthy group, n = 18 in PQ group. B Pearson correlation coefficient. n = 22. The correlation between PQ and levels of serum potassium (K+, C), sodium (Na+, D) or chloride (Cl-, E). F, G Analysis of serum calcium levels (Ca2+) and serum creatinine levels in each PQ-poisoned patient during disease progression. H Levels of serum calcium levels (Ca2+) in PQ-poisoned mice treated w/wo lysine for 3 days. I Levels of serum calcium (Ca2+), potassium (K+), sodium (Na+) or chloride (Cl-) in PQ-poisoned cynomolgus monkey treated w/wo lysine for 3 days.
