Lp-PLA₂ mRNA was significantly greater (P<0.01) in foam cells than in mature macrophages (A). Similarly, cell-associated (P=0.05) and secreted (P=0.008) Lp-PLA2 protein levels were higher in foam cells than in macrophages ^† (B). (ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests). ^† As monocytes were grown in suspension, protein levels were measured in monocyte cell lysates but could not be measured in media.
