Differences in MAP1LC3B protein expression between symptomatic and asymptomatic.

<p>(A) MAP1LC3B and GAPDH carotid atheroma plaque protein levels were analyzed by Western blot and signal was detected on a ChemiDoc (XRS) detection system (BioRad). The blot shows the results from 5 asymptomatic and 4 symptomatic samples. (B) Densitometric analysis of western blot of LC3-II relative to GAPDH. *P = 0.015 symptomatic vs asymptomatic (Mann-Whitney U test).
