Effects of P. gingivalis infection on serum levels of serum amyloid A (SAA) and PCSK9 (N = 5 in the sham-infected group; N = 6 in the infected group). All samples were analyzed in duplicate for each condition. Box plots represent medians, with the 25th and 75th percentiles shown as boxes and the 10th and 90th percentiles as whiskers. Significant differences were observed between the infected group and the sham-infected group (** P < 0.01, Mann–Whitney U-test).
