Figure 11 Expression of tissue factor (TF) by monocytes stimulated with CD40 ligand (CD40L) (50 ng/ml) and CD40L-stimulated monocytes added with 50 or 100 µmol/l of vitamin C in healthy subjects (open bars; A) and patients with hypercholesterolemia (solid bars; B). *p < 0.003 for CD40L (50 ng/ml)-stimulated monocytes added with 50 µmol/l of vitamin C versus CD40L (50 ng/ml)-stimulated monocytes. **p < 0.002 for CD40L (50 ng/ml)-stimulated monocytes added with 100 µmol/l of vitamin C versus CD40L (50 ng/ml)-stimulated monocytes.
