Clinical characteristics of patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy in relation with LTB4 expression.

LTB4 plaque expression levels are expressed as mean ± standard deviation.
Abbreviations: ACE: Angiotensin Converting Enzyme, HDL: high-density lipoprotein, LDL: low-density lipoprotein, LTB4: Leukotriene B4, SD: standard deviation. Patient characteristics have been correlated with continuous LTB4 expression plaque levels. P-values were calculated using Student’s T test. Differences with p-value <0.05 was regarded significant marked an with asterisk (*).
