Figure 5From: Human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs) have a sex: characterisation of the phenotype of male and female cellsNOS3 mRNA expression and NOS3 protein expression in FHUVECs and MHUVECs. (A) Relative NOS3 mRNA expression. The values are expressed as the means ± SEM (*P = 0.036) of four independent experiments for each sex. (B) Representative Western blot and densitometric analysis of NOS3 expression. The values are expressed as medians + MAD (*P < 0.05) of 17 independent experiments for each sex normalised to actin levels.Back to article page
