Serum sRAGE (soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products) levels in never smokers and smokers. (A) Patient characteristics. BMI = body mass index (kg/m2); N = number of group participants; sex (M) = number of males in a group. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. (B) Levels of sRAGE were measured in serum of young (18–40 yr old) smokers (n = 26) and nonsmokers (n = 28), and age-matched old (>40 yr old) smokers (n = 28) and nonsmokers (n = 28) without airway obstruction using immunoprecipitation in 96-well ELISA format–coupled liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Data are shown as individual measurements and mean ± SEM.
