Asymmetric Dimethylarginine Induced Apoptosis and Dysfunction of Endothelial Progenitor Cells: Role of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Pathway

Figure 2

ADMA inhibited nitric oxide synthesis of EPCs. NO assay was applied to determine the effect of ADMA on EPCs NO production. The quantitative graph showed that ADMA (5~50 μmol/L) could significantly inhibit nitric oxide synthesis of EPCs (n = 3 per group). Mean ± SEM. versus control.
