Figure 1

Platelet mtDNA content. Mitochondrial DNA content in platelets (mtDNApl) was determined using qPCR after normalization for platelet count in isolated platelets. (A) Dotplot showing mtDNA copies per platelet in people living with HIV (PLHIV) and controls (HC); the line indicates median and error bars the interquartile range (IQR). Student’s t-test was used after inverse rank-based normalization. (B) Normalized (inverse rank based) mtDNApl versus age. (C) Normalized mtDNApl versus soluble CD163 (a macrophage scavenger receptor). Correlations were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficients.
