Figure 4From: High glucose induces human endothelial dysfunction through an Axl-dependent mechanismHG concentrations and Akt expression in HMEC-1Â s. (A) In a time dependent manner, decreased Akt phosphorylation but no changes in MAP kinase were shown 0.5 to 12Â hours after HG (40Â mM D-glucose) treatment. (B) Down-regulation of Akt phosphorylation was noted after HG treatment with a dose dependent manner, whereas no change was observed for MAP kinase phosphorylation.Back to article page
