Effect of Bo-Gan-Whan (BGH) on PDGF-BB-induced aortic sprout growth. The microphotographs of the aortic rings embedded in Matrigel, treated with or without BGH (100, 250, and 500 μg/ mL) and PDGF-BB (10 ng/ml) are shown (a). The results were observed after four days of incubation. b Also shown is the sprout outgrowth level in the untreated and BGH- and PDGF-BB-treated aortic rings, expressed as 100 % (n = 3). Results are presented as the mean ± standard error of three independent experiments. Values with the same superscript letters are not significantly different as analyzed by Tukey’s multiple range test (P < 0.05)
