Table 4 Correlation between lung function parameters and Ad_pl level in hypoxemic and non-hypoxemic men and women COPD patients. Ad_pl level was measured by ELISA and HMW form proportion was determined using a non-denaturing PAGE-SDS followed by a Western blot. Data were represented as Pearson correlation coefficient _{(p value)}
