Figure 5

Correlation of SF and serum FSTL1 concentrations with SF IL-6 concentration in OA patients. (A) The association between concentrations of IL-6 and FSTL1 in SF of OA patients was evaluated. (B) The association between concentrations of SF IL-6 and serum FSTL1 in OA patients was evaluated. Fifty-eight paired samples (serum versus SF) were collected from 58 OA patients. Correlation coefficients (r) and P values from the Spearman rank-order test are shown. Each point represents an individual value. FSTL1, follistatin-like protein 1; IL-6, interleukin-6; OA, osteoarthritis; SF, synovial fluid.
