Figure 2. γ-Tocotrienol inhibits VEGF-induced microvessel sprouting ex vivo.

Aortic segments isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats were placed in the Matrigel coated plated and then overlayed with matrigel and treated with VEGF in the presence or absence of γ-tocotrienol. A, Representative photographs of sprouts from the margins of aortic rings. B, The number of sprouts were counted manually and epressed as a bar diagram. *, p < 0.01 versus VEGF alone.
