Effect of tempol (a) and MitoTEMPO (b) on SMC proliferation of control rats (open bars) and SF (black bars) cultured during 72 and 120 h to 5 and 10 μM of each compound. The values correspond to the amount of DNA (ng) ± SE ( independent experiments). C vs. SF, C vs. C+tempol, SF vs. SD+tempol, C vs. C + MitoTEMPO, and SF vs. SF + MitoTEMPO.
