Figure 6 p38 MAPK Phosphorylation Analysis
(A) p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) phosphorylation analysis in normocholesterolemic (HS) (n = 8) and hypercholesterolemic (HC) children (n = 8) (the rate of phosphorylation was expressed as arbitrary units [AU]) (*p < 0.001). (B) A representative Western blot analysis of p38MAPK phosphorylation in normocholesterolemic (HS) (n = 4) and hypercholesterolemic (HC) (n = 4) children.
