Localisation of members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family and their receptors in human atherosclerotic arteries

Table 2

Sections stained positive for the various vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs)

Tissue type N VEGFR-1 (95% CI) VEGFR-2 (95% CI) VEGFR-3 (95% CI) Overall p value
Percentages and 95% confidence intervals shown in the table correspond to the proportion of sections where positive staining for the various VEGF receptors was detected. The χ2 test was used to calculate the p value.
Uterine arteries 15 27% (5% to 49%) 53% (28% to 78%) 80% (60% to 100%) 0.02
Saphenous veins 15 93% (80% to 100%) 0 80% (60% to 100%) <0.001
Atherosclerotic arteries* 30 20% (7% to 34%) 20% (7% to 34%) 83% (70% to 96%) <0.001
Overall p value <0.001 0.02 0.95
