Figure 2

Plasma lipid profile according to APOE mRNA expression levels. Patients were grouped in levels of APOE mRNA expression according to tercile values (first tercile [low]: 2-ΔCt < 7.7x10-5; second tercile [intermediate]: 2-ΔCt: 7.7 x10-5 - 17.1 x10-5; third tercile [high]: 2-ΔCt > 17.1 x10-5) and plasma lipids were compared among the groups by one way ANOVA and Tukey test. TC, total cholesterol; LDL-c, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-c, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; apoAI, apolipoprotein AI; apoB, apolipoprotein B; (*), p < 0.05. Conversion factors to convert to Systeme Internacional (SI) units are 0.02586 for cholesterol (mmol/l), 0.01129 for triglycerides (mmol/l) and 0.01 for apolipoproteins (g/l).
