Figure 6.
GPx4 content and HNE-adducts in human myocardium. Total GPx4 enzyme content A and HNE-adducts B are shown in atrial myocardium obtained from non-diabetic and diabetic patients undergoing elective heart surgery. Shown in C is association between HNE-adducts and GPx4 enzyme in these heart samples, and the ratio of HNE-adduct to GPx4 enzyme are depicted in D. Each symbol corresponds to one individual patient (N = 103, see Table 2 for demographics and clinical variables). P-value computed using Friedman's nonparametric test for central tendency, adjusting for sex.
