Figure 5. — Relative gene expression of the membrane-bound and soluble IL6 receptors in carotid artery plaques of statin-treated and non-treated patients.

Relative gene expression levels quantified by semi-qRT-PCR and expressed as – ΔC_T.

The p-value is for differences between statin-treated (n = 65) and non-treated (n = 11) patients. Missing information on lipid-lowering therapy (n = 1) and monotherapy with ezetimibe (n = 1) not included in the present analysis.

IL6, interleukin 6; – ΔC_T, negative delta cycle threshold; semi-qRT-PCR, semi-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
