Release of LDH from cultured vascular smooth muscle cells. Cells were incubated for 1, 3 or 7 hours without (Control, ○) or with LL-37 at 10 (●) or 30 (■) μg/ml. The release of LDH was significantly increased from cells incubated for 1, 3 and 7 hours with LL-37 at 30 μg/ml (n = 7, *P < 0.05, One way repeated measures ANOVA followed by Holm-Sidak test). Values are means ± S.E.M.
