Figure 1 Plasma oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) concentrations in the aortic root (AO), coronary sinus (CS) and femoral vein (FV) in 8 control subjects and in 22 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Open columns represent control subjects; closed columns represent patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01 between the value of normal subjects and patients with dilated cardiomyopathy; #p < 0.01 vs. the value of AO by analysis of variance with the Scheffé F test.
