PKCβ and Endothelial Function. A. Representative cell from a diabetic patient (right) shows higher PKCβ expression (red) compared with a cell from a non-diabetic control (left, red). Pooled data (20 cells analyzed per patient) show that PKCβ levels were higher in diabetic patients (n=11) compared to the non-diabetic controls (n=7, *P=0.03). B. Higher endothelial PKCβ expression levels were associated with lower flow-mediated dilation.
