    <p>Cytokines secretion in culture supernatants from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from the 6 healthy subjects not expressing the combined double risky alleles “Del” of ACE and “4G” of PAI-1 genes [Healthy-ACE/PAI-1(Del/4G)(-/-)], from 6 healthy subjects co-expressing Del/4G [Healthy-ACE/PAI-1(Del/4G)(+/+)] and from 6 patients HH co-expressing Del/4G [HH-ACE/PAI-1(Del/4G)(+/+)]. TNF-α (A), IFN-γ (B), IL-4 (C) and IL-10 (D) production were determined in triplicates (n = 24 for each group) and results are Mean ± SEM. *<i>P<0</i>.<i>05</i> and **<i>P<0</i>.<i>01</i>; Del/4G(+/+) <i>versus</i> Del/4G(-/-).</p

    <p>Culture supernatants from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from the 6 healthy subjects not expressing the combined double risky alleles “Del” of ACE and “4G” of PAI-1 genes [Healthy-ACE/PAI-1(Del/4G)(-/-)], from 6 healthy subjects co-expressing Del/4G [Healthy-ACE/PAI-1(Del/4G)(+/+)] and from 6 patients HH co-expressing Del/4G [HH-ACE/PAI-1(Del/4G)(+/+)]. Cells were treated 48h with 10μM of RAMP and/or ATV. TNF-α (A), IFN-γ (B), IL-4 (C), IL-10 (D), ACE (E), PAI-1 (F) production were determined in triplicates (n = 24 for each group) and results are Mean ± SEM. <sup>§</sup><i>P<0</i>.<i>05</i>; Del/4G(+/+) <i>versus</i> Del/4G(-/-).*<i>P<0</i>.<i>05</i> and **<i>P<0</i>.<i>01</i>; RAMP+ATV <i>versus</i> Control.</p
