Effect of LA treatment on PTX3 mRNA expression (a), change in expression (b), and change in expression by LA schedule (c). LA, lipoprotein apheresis; PTX3, pentraxin 3; QW, once weekly; Q2W, biweekly; PRE1, blood sample collected before first LA session; POST1, blood sample collected after first LA session; PRE2, blood sample collected before second LA session; POST2, blood sample collected after second LA session.
