Figure 2From: Fatty acid-binding protein 4 impairs the insulin-dependent nitric oxide pathway in vascular endothelial cellsEffect of FABP4 on eNOS mRNA expression. HUVECs were incubated with FABP4 at the indicated concentrations for 30 minutes and then with insulin (600 nM) for 24 hours. TNFα (10 ng/ml) was used as a negative control. The data are expressed using the 2-ΔΔCt method. *P < 0.05 vs. insulin(−) / FABP4(−); #P < 0.05 vs. insulin(+) / FABP4(−).Back to article page
