Expression of the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products in Epicardial Fat: Link with Tissue Thickness and Local Insulin Resistance in Coronary Artery Disease

Figure 3

Relationship between RAGE expression in EAT and EAT inflammation. CAD patients were stratified into two groups (Q1 and Q2) on the basis of the median RAGE expression in EAT. (a) Gene expression of GLO1 and HMGB1 in EAT was compared in the two groups; (b) TLR-4 and MyD88 levels were compared in the two groups. A.U.: arbitrary unit. Data are expressed as mean ± SD; .
