Table 2 Human Monocytes derived macrophages (HMDM) isolated from diabetic versus non diabetic patients were analyzed for their C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) content by immunohistochemistry as well as for their CRP mRNA levels by real time PCR
|  | Diabetic patients (n = 10) | Non-diabetic patients (n = 10) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
CRP Content in HMDM (IOD) | 120401 ± 44479 | 107442 ± 40119 | N.S. |
HMDM CRP mRNA/β-Actin mRNA (Arbitrary Unit) | 0.94 ± 0.33 | 0.74 ± 0.37 | N.S. |
IL-6 Content in HMDM (IOD) | 34254 ± 23354 | 35302 ± 28979 | N.S. |
