The Role of Dermcidin Isoform 2: A Two-Faceted Atherosclerotic Risk Factor for Coronary Artery Disease and the Effect of Acetyl Salicylic Acid on It

Figure 3

SDS gel electrophoresis of plasma of hypertensive patients before and after the ingestion of aspirin. The plasma from the hypertensive patients was subjected to SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis before (Lane A) and after (Lane B) the ingestion of aspirin. As described in Section 2, patients were asked to swallow 150 mg aspirin. After 3 h of the ingestion of the compound, CFP was prepared and SDS gel electrophoresis was run and subsequently stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue. Please note that the intensity of the 11 kDa protein band was less dense (Lane B) compared to before the ingestion of aspirin (Lane A). The figure shown here is a typical representative of at least 10 more identical experiments.
