The effects of ES, M-ES, and PEG-M-ES on HRMEC proliferation in VEGF-containing culture medium.

<p>Cell proliferation was measured using the BrdU assay at 48 and 72 h. Data are presented as the mean ±SD. Each experiment was repeated at least three times. All treatment groups were compared with the group treated with VEGF₁₆₅ (20 ng/ml). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a post-hoc Dunnett's t-test was used to analyze the data. *P<0.05; **P<0.01.
