Figure 3. Total cytosolic RNA was prepared used for Q-PCR analysis of the expression of COX2.

Data are expressed as fold changes vs each paired unstimulated control, taken as calibrator for comparative quantitation analysis of mRNA levels. Each sample was measured in triplicate. (A) Data are the means ± SEM (n = 10).^**P<0.01 vs. healthy controls; (B) Individual data of patients °°°P<0.001 vs patients at time 0; Student's t-test. FU = Follow up.
