Figure 6

Effects of high glucose and the NOS inhibitor L -NAME on F-actin cytoskeleton in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The detection of F-actin fluorescence was performed following seven days of incubating endothelial cells in various media (as described in Figure 2). F-actin was probed with Rhodamine Phalloidin to emit red fluorescence. Scale bar = 50μm.
