Figure 2From: Low heart-type fatty acid binding protein level during aging may protect down syndrome people against atherosclerosisH-FABP level in down syndrome people (DS) and healthy subjects (CTR) classified according to age. DS and in CTR were subdivided in three groups according to age: the first included children (age 2–14 years); the second adults (age 20–50 years); the third elderly ( > 60 years). H-FABP was measured in each group and comparison has been performed both between DS and age-matched CTR and between the three DS and CTR age groups. *p < 0.001 vs. age-matched CTR, °p < 0.01 vs. adults CTR, °° p < 0.001 vs. children CTR.Back to article page
