Figure 7From: Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Protects against Hyperglycemic-Induced Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition and Improves Myocardial Dysfunction by Suppressing Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase 1 ActivityGLP-1 reduced HG-induced collagen I, collagen III, MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression in HAECs with siPARP-1 or GLP-1. (A, B) Western blot analysis of collagen I and III expression. Data are mean ± SD. #p < 0.05 versus NG, *p < 0.05 versus HG. (C, D) Gelatin zymography analysis of MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity. Results are from three repeated experiments. Data are mean ± SD. #p < 0.05 versus NG, *p < 0.05 versus HG.Back to article page
