Fig. 7From: Assessment of HIF-1α expression and release following endothelial injury in-vitro and in-vivoa Increase in plasma HIF-1α in a rat angioplasty model. Plasma levels of HIF-1α, measured by ELISA, increased after injury, reaching a maximum after 48 h. (b) VEGF mRNA levels in the injured carotid and the contralateral carotid of the same rats as arbitrary units versus the uninjured samples. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 6). *P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 and *** P < 0.001Back to article page
