Detection of Pathological Changes in the Aorta during Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Progression on Molecular Level
Figure 2
Expression of marker genes on protein levels in the blood of patients with different stages of TAA. The protein levels of all detected genes were compared to controls (C, ). All data are presented as average ± SD: 1—mean aortic diameter 43 ± 2.3 mm (), 2—mean aortic diameter 51 ± 2.8 mm (), 3—mean aortic diameter 59.5 ± 3.7 ()., and mean statistical significance.
