Dose-dependent effect of apo(a) on ROS production by collagen-primed monocytes. Monocytes were incubated for 2 h at 37 °C in plates coated with albumin (Alb) or type I collagen with increasing concentrations (0 to 200 nM) 18 K apo(a) isoform, and ROS production was measured by NBT reduction test. Results (means ± standard deviations) are expressed as ratios to the NBT reduction rate of monocytes incubated on albumin-coated plates. a.u.: arbitrary units, NS: non-significant, *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01
