Figure 2. Time course of ppET-1 mRNA expression in human endothelial cells in response to arterial levels of laminar shear stress.

HUVEC were subjected to shear stress of 30 dyn cm⁻². ppET-1 mRNA expression was determined using standard-calibrated, competitive RT-PCR. Values are given as means ±s.e.m. (am μg⁻¹ RNA); n= 3. * P < 0.05 vs. static control with dextran medium (static condition: open bar, shear stress: hatched bars).
