Fig. 3From: Allicin alleviates coronary atherosclerosis of mice via endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor(Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) signaling pathwayAllicin alleviated ox-LDL induction in EPCs in vitro. A CCK-8 was applied for examining cytotoxicity of allicin in EPCs in vitro. B eNOS, Nrf2 and HO-1 protein expression after ox-LDL induction(24 h), allicin treatment(12 h) and L-NAME treatment (2 h) were evaluated using western blot. C–E MDA, SOD and NO level were detected after ox-LDL induction, allicin treatment and L-NAME treatment in vitro. **P < 0.032, **N: significant vs NC; **O: significant vs ox-LDL group; **A: significant vs ox-LDL + AllicinBack to article page
