Effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE: 10%) on the paracellular permeability of bEnd.3 cells exposed to normoxic (A) or OGD + RO conditions (B). Results are expressed as fold-change in FITC-dextran passage relative to either vehicle-treated cells (A) or normoxic controls (B) and are given as mean ± SEM (n = 6–8). *P < 0.05 vs. vehicle-treated cells (A, Student’s unpaired t-test; B, #P < 0.05 vs. normoxic controls (One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc test).
