Fig. 9From: Nicorandil attenuates carotid intimal hyperplasia after balloon catheter injury in diabetic ratsEffect of εPKC on VSMCs proliferation induced by high glucose. a Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay kit. b VSMCs proliferation was detected using BrdU proliferation assay kit. 24 h of high glucose induced VSMCs proliferation. εPKC knockdown suppressed the increase of cell viability and proliferation induced by high glucose. Bars represent mean ± SE. **p < 0.01Back to article page
