Ator attenuates Ang II-induced ROS levels in HUVECs. (A) Quantification of intracellular ROS levels in HUVECs was determined by flow cytometry, following treatment with Ang II, Ator or both. (B) Fluorescent intensity was calculated by multiplying the number of events by the mean of the fluorescence intensity value. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 vs. control group; #P<0.05 as indicated. ROS, reactive oxygen species; CON, untreated control; Ator, atorvastatin; Ang II, angiotensin II; HUVECs, human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
