Effects of statistically significant (p < 0.01) inhibitors on the proliferation of dexmedetomidine-stimulated A7r5-α2B vascular smooth muscle cells, in relation to vehicle-treated control cells. Treatments (dexmedetomidine or vehicle) were performed on separate sample plates and proliferation responses were determined by comparing the inhibitor-treated samples to the DMSO-treated samples (baseline) on each sample plate separately. Total inhibitor effects were determined as an average of four inhibitor concentrations and statistical significance was determined based on these average values. Error bars indicate standard deviation
