Blood platelet levels and plasma analysis of siNEG and siProc treated Apoe−/− mice. (A) Total blood platelet levels, (B) plasma total cholesterol levels, (C) plasma fibrinogen levels, measured by ELISA, and expressed as % of normal pool plasma. We did not have any reason to exclude outliers with a low value (e.g. due to coagulation upon blood withdrawal). (D) Serum Amyloid A levels, and (E) plasma IL-6 levels (negative measurements were set to 0 pg/mL). Black bars indicate the median. **P < 0.01 for siNEG vs. siProc. $P < 0.05 for siProc − THR vs. siProc + THR.
