3.6. Effects of SCFAs on ICAM-1 Expression in Human Aortic Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells In Vitro
human aortic vascular smooth muscle
To further validate the negative correlations between SCFAs and sICAM-1, we did three independent in vitro experiments in human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells. Our results showed lower IL-1β-induced ICAM-1 expression when the cells were pre-incubated with formic acid, acetic acid, or propionic acid of the concentrations found in plasma (
