Figure 2

HIF-1alpha and VEGF levels in endothelial cells. SVEC4-10 ((a) and (b)) and HUVEC ((c) and (d)) following toxic damage. The cells were treated with ethanol for three consecutive days. Every 24 hours, cells were harvested and protein isolated. HIF-1a and VEGF ELISA were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Data is expressed as mean HIF-1alpha or VEGF content ± SEM. per group, * , and n.s. = not significant compared to the control.
