mRNA expression levels related to cell adhesion molecules and plaque stability in abdominal aorta. (a, b) mRNA expression levels related to cell adhesion molecules such as Vcam-1 and Icam. (cg) mRNA expression levels related to plaque stability such as Mmp-2, Mmp-9, Mmp-3, Timp-1 and Timp2 expressed as fold change relative to non-diabetic control group. Non-diabetic Cont (n = 8), Non-diabetic Dula (n = 8), Early diabetic Cont (n = 8), Early diabetic Dula (n = 6), Late diabetic Cont (n = 8), Late diabetic Dula (n = 7). Values are the mean ± SEM of data obtained from each group. *p < 0.05 (non-DM Cont vs non-DM Dula), #p < 0.05 (Early Cont vs Early Dula).
