Figure 10.

The viable, apoptotic and late apoptotic/dead populations of HUVEC cells previously treated with copper (II) 10 µM, peptides 5 µM, and peptide/Cu(II) complexes for 72 h, compared to untreated cells and those treated with STS (staurosporine) added 2 h before analysis. Data are the mean ± SEM of three different experiments performed in triplicate. Statistically significant differences are indicated with * = p < 0.05 VEGF73-101 vs. VEGF73-101 + Cu (One-Way ANOVA + Student-Newman-Keuls test).
