Phytoestrogen α-Zearalanol Attenuates Homocysteine-Induced Apoptosis in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

Figure 1

Characterization of primarily cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). (a) After 5 days of feeding, cells isolated from human umbilical cord vein showed a typical, cobblestone-like morphology of endothelial cells. (b) The markers of endothelial cells (eNOS and VE-cadherin) were positive with immunofluorescence staining (×100).
