Figure 2

Representative western blots showing (a) increased TLR 2, TLR 4, and TLR 6 protein expression in gastrocnemius muscle biopsies obtained from patients with CLI compared to controls. (b) Densitometric quantification of TLR 2, 4, and 6 levels in CLI muscle. * compared to control. The human experiments were conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (1964), and informed consent was obtained from patients with prior approval from the local ethics committee.
