The Role and Mechanism of α-Klotho in the Calcification of Rat Aortic Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Figure 5

Calcium content in the extracellular matrix of the VSMCs following treatment with the control, β-GP, β-GP + LiCl, β-GP + rmKlotho, or β-GP + rmKlotho + LiCl medium for 12 d. The quantification of calcium content is represented as the mean with the SE ( per group) for each group in its respective column. versus control group, versus β-GP group, and versus β-GP + Klotho group.
