Figure 1: Sirt6 protein expression is lower in human carotid endarterectomy specimens than in normal carotids.

Figure 1

(A) The Sirt6 protein level in human atherosclerotic plaques and normal carotids from controls was analyzed in representative western blot. MMP9 acts as a positive control. (B) Statistical analysis of the Sirt6 protein level relative to β-Actin in normal carotids (n = 7) and atherosclerotic plaques (n = 14) is shown. Each symbol represents a measurement from a single sample. Student’s t test was applied to calculate the P value. (*P < 0.05).
