Myosin VI and Associated Proteins Are Expressed in Human Macrophages but Do Not Play a Role in Foam Cell Formation in THP-1 Cells

Table 3

Composition of LDL: human LDL was isolated from plasma by sequential density gradient ultracentrifugation, oxidised using CuSO₄, and labelled with DiI as described in the Methods section. Data shown are the mean ± SEM from 3 preparations.

Parameter	nLDL	oxLDL	DiI-nLDL	DiI-oxLDL
Protein (mg/mL)	2.04±0.01	2.07±0.28	1.09±0.42	1.04±0.28
TC (μmol/mL)	8.37±0.25	7.6±0.51	4.03±1.93	3.87±1.13
TBARS (nmol MDA/mg protein)	0.90±0.25	16.83±3.17 **

∗∗Indicates oxLDL value is significantly different from nLDL value (𝑃<0.01).
