doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0341078
Figure Lengend Snippet: Primary human cardiac fibroblasts were stimulated for 24 hours with or without 10 nM aldosterone, and balcinrenone or eplerenone added to final concentrations of 0.5, 2.5, or 12.5 µM. (A) Collagen 1 and (B) IL-6 concentrations in the supernatant were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data are presented as means ± standard deviations. * P < 0.05 versus control; # P < 0.05 versus 10 nM aldosterone. Aldo, aldosterone; Ctrl, control; IL-6, interleukin-6.
Article Snippet: Primary human cardiac fibroblasts (PromoCell, Heidelberg, Germany) were cultured in Fibroblast Growth Medium 3 (PromoCell, Heidelberg, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instruction and used between passages five and seven.
Techniques: Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay, Control
