GLO1, NAC, or AG pretreatment can protect against MG-induced decrease in the mRNA levels of angiogenesis factors. (a) ELISA of secreted VEGF in HBMEC as indicated. (b–d) Bar charts showed quantitative PCR data about the relative HIF-1α, Notch1, and VEGFA levels. All data are the (), , , and vs. the MG group.
