Fig. 1From: Fibroblast growth factor 21 inhibits atherosclerosis in apoE−/− mice by ameliorating Fas-mediated apoptosisFGF21 protected against ox-LDL-induced HUVEC apoptosis. After pretreatment with 500 ng/ml FGF21 for 6 h, HUVECs were incubated with 25 μg/ml ox-LDL for 36 h. a Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry in HUVECs incubated with ox-LDL with or without FGF21. b Apoptosis was detected by using a caspase-3 activity kit for HUVECs incubated with ox-LDL with or without FGF21. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01 vs. Con; ##p < 0.01, #p < 0.05 vs. ox-LDLBack to article page
