Fig. 8From: Protective role of oleic acid against cardiovascular insulin resistance and in the early and late cellular atherosclerotic processEffect of oleate in VSMCs apoptosis. Effect of oleate in VSMCs apoptosis induced by TNF-α measured by cellular cycle (a) or by Western blot analysis of active caspase 3 (b) or induced by thapsigargin by Western blot analysis (c). *p < 0.05 vs. control; †p < 0.05 vs. stimulus. d Western blot analysis of PAI-1 levels induced by TNF-α at different time points. e Effect of oleate and parthenolide in PAI-1 levels induced by TNF-α. β-actin was used as charge controlBack to article page
