Figure 3

(A) Representative microscopic view of tube formation in EPCs without or with AICAR treatment (1 mM) for 24 hr. (B) EPCs were treated with different concentrations of AICAR or (C) Compound C (Comp C; 10 μM) for 24 hr. The tube formation was determined by counting the numbers of tubes in 5 randomly chosen low-power fields. Data are mean ± SD from 3 independent experiments, each performed in triplicate (*p<0.05).
