Mean expression of leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) (A), leukotriene C4 synthase (LTC4S) (B), interleukin-8 (IL8) (C), Jun proto-oncogene (JUN) (D), prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) (E), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) (F) and interferon gamma (IFNG) (G) across four groups i.e. controls, without metabolic syndrome (MetS−), with MetS (MetS+) and coronary artery disease (CAD).
