From: Cardiac taurine and principal amino acids in right and left ventricles of patients with either aortic valve stenosis or coronary artery disease: the importance of diabetes and gender

Figure 3

Effect of gender on basal levels of amino acids in left and RVs of aortic valve stenosis patients. The concentration of taurine and principal free amino acids (glutamate, glutamine, alanine, aspartate and asparagine) in biopsies collected from both left (LV) and right (RV) ventricles of male (n = 10) and female (n = 12) aortic valve stenosis patients. Panel (A) shows data for taurine, glutamine and glutamate while panel (B) shows data for alanine, aspartate and asparagine. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. * = p <0.05.
