Journal survey for utilization of DMEM with glucose information. Among the target journals, we have sampled 412 articles. The percentages of DMEM articles reporting usage of DMEM for all cells (A), fibroblasts (B), VSMC (C), and EC (D) were indicated. The percentages of articles with declared DMEM glucose concentrations for all cells (E), fibroblasts (F), VSMC (G), and EC (H) were indicated. EC, endothelial cell; Fib, fibroblast cell; Glu High, high glucose medium (450 mg/dL); Glu Info, glucose information; Glu Low, low glucose medium (100 mg/dL); VSMC, vascular smooth muscle cell.
