Macrophage PTP1B protein levels do not differ between patients with manifest heart disease and healthy volunteers. A Western blots unstimulated primary human macrophages from healthy volunteers (HV) and volunteers with manifest atherosclerotic heart disease (A) probed for PTP1B and GAPHD as a loading control. B Western blot quantifications of PTP1B normalized to GAPHD. Quantification was performed using Image J software. Data are represented as mean ± S.E.M. and were analyzed by bootstrapped t test
