A Concentrations of amylase, lipase, CRP, and ANGPTL4 in the sera of patients (n = 90) diagnosed with pancreatitis. The box plots show a typical display consisting of a median value depicted by the line in the center of the box; an interquartile range (IQR; 25th to the 75th percentile) depicted by the box; and the maximum (Q3+1.5*IQR) and minimum (Q1-1.5*IQR) values depicted by the whisker. Statistical significance of Mann-Whitney U-tests is indicated (** P < 0.01 and *** P < 0.001). Exact P values are shown in Appendix Table S2. ANGPTL4 and CRP concentration from pancreatitis patients were determined by sandwich ELISA. The correlation between ANGPTL4 and CRP is depicted with Pearson correlation coefficient (R). Each dot represents the levels of ANGPTL4 and CRP from an individual patient (n = 90).
