Combination of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and matrix metalloproteinase-9 are biomarkers for the detection of colon tubular adenocarcinoma

Figure 5 Content of pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (pg/mL) in serum samples from normal tissues (n = 10) and from patient tissues with different stages of tubular adenocarcinoma of the colon (stage I-III) (n = 10). Three independent experiments were carried out and analyzed. Data are expressed as mean values ± SE, ^bP < 0.01, two-tailed Student’s t-tests. pro-GRP: Pro-gastrin-releasing peptide.
