Figure 1.
Levels of sST2 in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, with and without co-existing metabolic syndrome (MetS). The graph illustrates both serum (A) and fecal (B) sST2 concentrations. Statistical significance between groups was determined using either the Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test, as appropriate. Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean.
Figure 2.
Depicts the levels of CXCL8 in patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC), with and without co-existing metabolic syndrome (MetS). The serum (A) and fecal (B) CXCL8 concentrations are represented in the figure. For the determination of statistically significant differences, we employed either the Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test, as per the data distribution. Data are articulated as mean ± standard error of the mean.
