Table 4: A. Mean values ± SE of Glu concentration in blood and CSF in patients suffer from cerebral glioma (A) or meningioma (B). Values are expressed in μΜ. Comparison made using Mann-Whitney t-test. Statistical significance between the groups is as follows: A:  Serum Glu and CSF Glu (p value a/b = 0.01105, B: Serum Glu and CSF Glu( p value: c/d = 0.0012).
