Guanxinkang Decoction Exerts Its Antiatherosclerotic Effect Partly through Inhibiting the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

Figure 2

MMP of HUVEC under the action of Guanxinkang at 24 h. (1) Compared with the control group, the data of MMP in each group decreased, especially in the model group (𝑃<0.05). (2) The data of MMP in cells under the action of GXK of different doses was significantly higher than that in the model group, and with the effect time progressing, the difference is more obvious. (3) The data of MMP of GXKL increased not significantly. (4) The data of MMP of GXKM and GXKH increased significantly (𝑃<0.05).
