Figure 2From: Effects of soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor on the expression of fatty acid synthase in peripheral blood mononuclear cell in patients with acute coronary syndromeLinear relationships between expression levels of FAS mRNA and the serum concentration of hs-CRP in ACS. PBMCs were isolated from peripheral blood of ACS patients. FAS mRNA was detected by realtime-PCR. Hs-CRP was measured by immune nephelometry. Relative expression levels of FAS mRNA means its 2-ΔΔCt value. Hs-CRP was log transformed to achieve normal distribution. The linear relationship between expression levels of FAS mRNA and serum concentration of hs-CRP was assessed by a least-square regression analysis. FAS: fatty-acid synthase; hs-CRP: high-sensitive C-reactive protein; ACS: acute coronary syndrome; PBMCs: peripheral blood mononuclear cells.Back to article page
