Role of B2R in the phosphorylation of AMPK and ERK1/2 in HUVECs. HUVECs were exposed to the B2R inhibitor HOE-140 (0.05 μg/μL) for 30 min before the addition of MK for 5 min. Then, the phosphorylation levels of AMPK (A) and ERK1/2 (B) were analyzed by western blotting. The results are shown as the means ± SEM (n = 3). #P < 0.05 vs. the control group and *P < 0.05 vs. the MK group
