Table 1.

The cell cycle distribution in HUVEC cells after 48 h treatment with β-escin (c = 60 μg/mL) was assessed by flow cytometry. Data are expressed as means ± SD of three independent experiments.

Treatment	Control	bFGF	bFGF + β-Escin 60 μg/mL
Sub-G1	2.45 ± 0.05	3.20 ± 0.70	3.80 ± 1.06
G0/G1	72.67 ± 3.77	40.05 ± 1.15 **	42.60 ± 1.38 **
S	10.73 ± 2.07	18.15 ± 1.45 *	38.65 ± 2.99 **,++
G2/M	14.15 ± 1.75	38.60 ± 1.90 **	14.95 ± 1.95 ++

The significant differences between control and β-escin-treated cells were signed as * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01; β-escin-treated cells vs. bFGF, ⁺⁺ p < 0.01.
