Fold increase in release of MV from male (open bars) and female (black bars) HBMEC expressing cell adhesion molecules following stimulation with either TNFα (20 ng/ml) or THR (2 U/ml) for 20 h. Data are shown as mean ± SEM fold increase above the number of MV expressed under unstimulated (control) conditions from 4 to 5 separate sets of experiments per condition. *P < 0.05 vs same sex untreated cells, by paired t test; †, vs same parameter in male cells, by two-tailed t test
