Figure 5

Relationship between levels of carbonylated HSA and smoking status. Human lung tissue from current smokers (n = 18), ex smokers (n = 15) and non-smokers (n = 5) was homogenised. Samples were derivatised and the number of carbonyl residues measured using ELISA. The median is marked as a solid bar and expressed as carbonyl residues/HSA molecule. Data was analysed using the non-parametric Kruskal Wallis test, P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
