Figure 2.
Relative gene expression levels of GP130, sGP130, IL6R, and sIL6R in carotid artery plaques in all subjects included (n = 78) measured by semi-qRT-PCR and reported as – ΔCT.
Kruskal–Wallis was used to analyze the relative differences in expression between receptors.
– ΔCT, negative delta cycle threshold; Semi-qRT-PCR, semi-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
