CD36 Is Significantly Correlated with Adipophilin in Human Carotid Lesions and Inversely Correlated with Plasma ApoAI

<table>(a) Typical macroscopic
pictures of a carotid endarterectomy specimen. (b) A transverse (perpendicular to the lumen) section of the
internal carotid artery was taken in the plaque lesion area (PLA) above the
bifurcation point. (c) A
macroscopically nonplaque area (NPLA) was used as an internal control. The PLA
and the NPLA sections were split horizontally giving 2 identical pieces that
were used, respectively, for immunohistochemistry and for quantitative PCR.</table>
