Figure 1 Effect of LDL and mox-LDL on 3H-thymidine incorporation into VSMC. The amount of 3H-thymidine incorporation into DNA was determined in synchronized VSMCs stimulated with indicated concentrations of LDL or mox-LDL in serum free medium for 48 h. One hundred percent equals the baseline value for 3H-thymidine incorporation into DNA (268 ± 12 cpm). Values shown are mean ± standard error. LDL = low density lipoprotein; mox-LDL = mildly oxidized low density lipoprotein; VSMC = vascular smooth muscle cell. n = 24; *p < 0.01 compared with control; **p < 0.001 compared with control.
