Profilin-1 Is Expressed in Human Atherosclerotic Plaques and Induces Atherogenic Effects on Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (original) (raw)
Figure 5
Profilin transcript levels in carotid arteries from normal or atherogenic LDLR-deficient mice.
6-month-old male LDLR-deficient mice were exposed to chow (n = 4) or atherogenic (n = 5) diet for 3 months. Subsequently, carotid arteries were removed, and profilin transcripts were measured by quantitative rt-PCR. Data are expressed as means ± SEM.
