Fig. 1From: Metoprolol alleviates arginine vasopressin-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by upregulating the AKT1–SERCA2 cascade in H9C2 cellsAVP caused a hypertrophic phenotype in the H9C2 cells. a F-actin staining (scale bar = 200 μm) was performed to determine the hypertrophic growth of the H9C2 cells treated with AVP. b Quantification of the surface areas of the AVP-stimulated H9C2 cells. c The mRNA levels of ANP and BNP and β-MHC were measured in the H9C2 cells stimulated with AVP. All the data are presented as the mean ± S.E.M. of at least three independent experiments. *P < 0.05 compared with the Control (Con)Back to article page
