Figure 1 (A) Shows plasma levels of neutrophil-activating peptide (NAP)-2 in 40 patients with unstable angina pectoris (AP), 40 patients with stable AP, and 20 healthy control subjects. (B and C) show mRNA levels for the NAP-2 receptors CXCR2 (B) and CXCR1 (C) relative to beta-actin mRNA in monocytes from 12 patients with unstable AP, 12 patients with stable AP, and 10 healthy control subjects. Data are mean values ± SEM. *p < 0.05 and ***p < 0.001 versus healthy control subjects; #p < 0.05 versus stable AP. One-way analysis of variance followed by Scheffe’s post hoc test for statistical significance was used for statistical comparisons.
