FIGURE 1.
Stenotic aortic valves have greater mRNA expression of Wnt-signaling mediators compared to healthy valves. Increased mRNA expression was found for Wnt-signaling mediators DVL. AVS, aortic valve stenosis. The data are represented as mean ± SEM. Significance level was set at P < 0.05. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared to control groups; n = 31 for AVS samples and n = 5 for normal samples. Student’s t-test was used for statistical analysis.
