Figure 2. Permeability Study in AGP Treated RBMEC Monolayers.
Sodium fluorescein (NaFl) permeability study was performed on RBMECs monolayers treated with α-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) for 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hrs. Permeability coefficient (PC) values for AGP treatment at 50 μg/ml (horizontal bars) and 500 μg/ml (diagonal line) are presented as % of control monolayers (open bars). Absolute PC values for controls are 9.2 ± 3.5× 10−4 cm/min. Data represents mean +/− SEM with statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA followed by Student Newman–Keuls post-hoc analysis. * indicates p-value <0.05; ** indicates p-value <0.01; *** indicates p-value <0.001 when compared to corresponding control; § indicates p-value <0.05 when compared to 50 μg/ml AGP at respective time points; n = 4–8.
