Effect of DPI (a) and APO (b) on the proliferation of SMCs from control rats (open bars) and SF (black bars) cultivated during 72 and 120 h to 5 and 10 μM of each compound. The values correspond to the average of the amount of DNA (ng) ± SE ( independent experiments and each experiment corresponds to one animal). C vs. SF, C vs. C + DPI, SF vs. SF + DPI, C vs. C + APO, and SF vs. SF + APO.
