Paired comparisons of plasma apoCIII, TNF-α and hs-CRP levels in subgroups with severe, moderate, and mild stenosis and healthy controls (control). a: Paired comparisons of plasma apoCIII levels in subgroups with severe, moderate, and mild stenosis, and control; b: Paired comparisons of plasma TNF-α levels in subgroups with severe, moderate, and mild stenosis, and control; c: Paired comparisons of plasma hs-CRP levels in subgroups with severe, moderate, and mild stenosis, and control. a: compared to control, P < 0.01; there were no significant differences between each pair of subgroups with severe, moderate and mild stenosis (P > 0.05)
