The crosslinks were expressed as nmol/mmol creatinine (Cr), except for the qotients of the crosslinks. The values in brackets are the 95% confidence intervals. | |||||
All measurements showed a significant difference among the groups as calculated by the Kruskal-Wallis test. | |||||
A significance between two groups was determined by the Mann-Whitney U test; significances are reported in the text. | |||||
