Fig. 3

Serum MMP-9 and IL-6 levels in each cough grade groups with and without pharyngeal collapse. Regardless of the presence of pharyngeal collapse, there are no significant differences in the serum levels of MMP-9 in (A) the grade 0 group; (B) the grade 1 group, and (C) the grade 2 group. Similarly, regardless of the presence of pharyngeal collapse there were no significant differences in the serum levels of IL-6 in (D) the grade 0 group; (E) the grade 1 group, and (F) the grade 2 group. Abbreviations: MMP-9, Matrix metalloproteinase-9; IL-6, Interleukin-6
