Figure 6From: Oxidative modification of albumin in the parenchymal lung tissue of current smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Degradation of HSA and oxidised HSA in human lung tissue. Human lung tissue (n = 12) was incubated with 200 μg/ml HSA (open circles) or 200 μg/ml oxidised HSA (filled circles) for 1, 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours. Samples were analysed for the levels of HSA using ELISA. Values given are the mean ± SEM and are expressed as μg/ml. The data was statistically analysed using the Wilcoxon-Signed rank test, * indicates a P value < 0.05.Back to article page
