Figure 3From: Novel biomarkers predict liver fibrosis in hepatitis C patients: alpha 2 macroglobulin, vitamin D binding protein and apolipoprotein AIVerification of A2M, VDBP and ApoAI by western blotting (A) and quantification of A2M (B), VDBP (C) and ApoAI (D) by Bio-Plex Suspension Array System. A2M is increased in the F1-F4 stages; VDBP is decreased in the F2-F4 stage and ApoAI is decreased in the F3/F4 stages. **p < 0.01.Back to article page
