Plumbagin Alleviates Capillarization of Hepatic Sinusoids In Vitro by Downregulating ET-1, VEGF, LN, and Type IV Collagen

<div>Plumbagin reverses capillarization of hepatic sinusoid, as seen by transmission electron microscopy. LSECs were stimulated via leptin and then treated with plumbagin (2, 15 <i>μ</i>mol/L) for 48 hours. Scale bar, 5 <i>μ</i>m. Arrows represent the fenestrae. Nu, nucleolus.</div>
