Fig. 1 — The number and activity of circulating EPCs in the four groups. Evaluated by a FACS analysis or b cell culture assay, the number of circulating EPCs in prehypertensive premenopausal women without diabetes mellitus was similar to that in normotensive premenopausal women without diabetes mellitus, but higher than that in normotensive or prehypertensive women with diabetes mellitus. There was no difference in the migratory c and proliferative d activities between normotensive and prehypertensive premenopausal women. The migratory c and proliferative d activities of cultured EPCs was lower in normotensive or prehypertensive premenopausal women with diabetes mellitus than that in normotensive or prehypertensive premenopausal women without diabetes mellitus. Data are given as mean ± SD (^*vs normotension; ^# vs without DM, n = 20 for each group)
