Effects of Nebivolol on Endothelial Gene Expression during Oxidative Stress in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

Table 1

Effect of nebivolol and atenolol on protein expression of adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, ICAM-2, ICAM-3, E-selectin, P-selectin), proteins linked to inflammation (IL-6, TNFalpha), and thrombotic state (tissue factor, uPA, PAI-1), endothelin-1 (ET-1), metalloproteinases (MMP-2, MMP-9), and protease inhibitor (TIMP-1) induced by oxidative stress in endothelial cells.
