Article Title: Prothrombotic State and Vascular Damage in Angiotensin II–Induced Hypertension: Influence of Waterpipe Smoke Exposure
doi: 10.1155/omcl/2670738
Figure Lengend Snippet: Tissue factor (A), von Willebrand factor (vWF; B), fibrinogen (C), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1; D) in plasma following exposure to either air or waterpipe smoke (WPS) in normotensive (NT) and hypertensive (HT) mice. Data are mean ± SD ( n = 7−8 in each group). Statistical analysis by one-way ANOVA followed by Holm–Sidak's multiple comparisons test. ANOVA, analysis of variance.
Article Snippet: The resulting plasma samples were stored at −80°C until the analysis of tissue factor (using an ELISA kit from R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA; Catalog No. DY3178), vWF (using an ELISA kit from Cloud Clone, Katy, TX, USA; Catalog No. SEA833Mu), fibrinogen (kits obtained from Elabscience, Houston, TX, USA; Catalog No. E-EL-M0498), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (using an ELISA kit from R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA; Catalog No. DY3828).
