Fig. 1 Basal levels of urinary LTE4 in each group. Horizontal bars indicate geometric means. Patients with wild-type and variant-type alleles are expressed as open and filled circles , respectively. *P < .001 compared with the control group; **P < .0001 compared with the control group; †P < .0001 compared with the ATA group.

Fig. 2 Ratio of increase in urinary LTE4 after aspirin challenge. The data are presented as means ± SEM of the percent increase over the prechallenge basal levels. Patients with wild-type and variant-type alleles are expressed as open and filled bars , respectively. *P < .05 compared with wild-type patients at 6 hours after aspirin challenge.
