APN inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell migration and p38 phosphorylation stimulated by Ang II. Representative image of (A) migrated cells stained with hematoxylin and eosin, as assessed by the migration assay and its quantification. (B) Representative blots of the p-p38 and t-p38 and quantification of its protein levels. Scale bar, 100 µm. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (n=3). *P<0.05 vs. Con, ^#P<0.05 vs. Ang II. APN, adiponectin; Ang II, angiotensin II; p, phosphorylated; t, total.
