Figure 5 Effect of coincubation with L-arginine (1 mmol/L) or with a neutralizing anti-MCP-1 antibody on the effects of ADMA, nLDL (100 mg/dL) or oxLDL (3 mg/dL) on the adhesiveness of ECV 304 human endothelial cells for THP-1 human monocytoid cells. ADMA = asymmetric dimethylarginine; MCP-1 = monocyte chemotactic protein; nLDL = native low-density lipoprotein; oxLDL = oxidized low-density lipoprotein. * = significantly different from vehicle treated control endothelial cells, p < 0.05; = significantly different from endothelial cells treated with lipoprotein or ADMA.
