Figure 4From: Lipogenesis in arterial wall and vascular smooth muscular cells: regulation and abnormalities in insulin-resistanceConcentrations of mRNA for lipogenic genes measured in human atheroma plaques (A) and in adjacent macroscopically intact tissue (MIT). Samples were collected during carotid endarterectomy in diabetic (n = 6) or non diabetic (n = 6) subjects. * p < 0.05 vs values in the MIT of the same subjects; £ p < 0.05 vs the corresponding value of non diabetic subjects.Back to article page
