Nitrative Stress Participates in Endothelial Progenitor Cell Injury in Hyperhomocysteinemia
Fig 4
Flow cytometry analysis of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs).
The amount of circulating EPCs (CD31+/ CD34+) in peripheral blood was significantly reduced in hyperhomocysteinemia rats, and anti-peroxynitrite treatment reversed this reaction. Data were expressed as means±SD; n = 4–6. *P<0.05 versus Control; #P<0.05 versus HHcy. HHcy: hyperhomocysteinemia; FeTMPyP: ONOO- scavenger; EPCs: endothelial progenitor cells.
