Fig. 4From: Elevated plasma and bile levels of corisin, a microbiota-derived proapoptotic peptide, in patients with severe acute cholangitisIncreased levels of plasma and bile corisin in patients with severe acute cholangitis. Corisin was measured by enzyme immunoassays. There were 9 patients with non-cholangitis, 30 with non-severe (mild disease 18 cases + moderate disease 12 cases) acute cholangitis, and 10 with severe disease. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was performed by ANOVA Fisher’s predicted least significant difference test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001Back to article page
