Rejuvenated Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Nitric Oxide in Premenopausal Women with Hyperhomocysteinemia

Figure 5

The correlation between circulating EPCs or NO level and FMD was shown as follows. The number of circulating EPCs evaluated by FACS (a) or by cell culture (b) correlated with the FMD. There was a correlation between the EPC proliferation (c) or migratory (d) and FMD. In addition, there was a correlation between the plasma NO level (e) or NO secretion by EPCs (f) and FMD.
