Table 1. Breviscapine inhibited high-glucose-induced proliferation of VSMCs. Cell Counting Kit-8 was used to evaluate cell proliferation and absorbance values were used to compare differences between groups. The results were represented as means±SEM of three independent experiments. ^aP>0.05, ^cP<0.01 vs normal glucose (5 mmol/L) group. ^dP<0.05 vs high glucose (25 mmol/L) group. ⁱP<0.01 vs high glucose+DMSO group. ^kP<0.05 vs high glucose+65 μmol/L breviscapine group.
