TABLE 2

Effects of inhibitors of MAPK pathways on TGFβ-induced reduction of BrdU incorporation

Data are shown as means ± S.E.M. of three experiments for pEC50, and maximum effects (percentage of inhibition) of the three TGFβ isoforms. None of the three inhibitors had statistically significant effects in a one-way ANOVA.
