Quantification of Western blotting of VE-cadherin (a) (normalized to β-actin) and MLC20/pMLC20 ratios (b) after 1hr of treatment with TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, LPS and IFN-γ alone and in the presence of LNAME. All data is compared to its corresponding control. Quantification of β-catenin levels (normalized to β-actin) after cytokine treatment showing apparent salvaging of β-catenin (c). * denotes significant departure from control (p≤0.05) as determined by ANOVA with Dunnett's post test, @ denotes significant difference from non-LNAME treated pair as determined by Student's two tailed t-test.
