Figure 1From: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 expression is transiently up-regulated in the acute period of myocardial infarction in rat Plasma levels of PCSK9 (A), FFA (B), TG (C), TC (D), LDL-C (E), and HDL-C (F) in sham and AMI groups. *P < 0.05 vs. control. PCSK9 = proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9; FFA = free fatty acid; TG = triglyceride; TC = total cholesterol; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol.Back to article page
