Lysophosphatidylcholine and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Young Smokers: A Role for Oxidized LDL-Induced Expression of PBMC Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2?
Figure 3
Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in non-smokers and smokers and correlation between CIMT and plasma concentrations of lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC).
(A) Mean and maximal CIMT values in non-smokers and smokers, *P<0.001 versus non-smokers. Data are presented as mean+SD. (B) Correlation between CIMT and plasma concentrations of lysoPC in the whole population of subjects studied.
