Ocimum gratissimum Aqueous Extract Protects H9c2 Myocardiac Cells from H2O2-Induced Cell Apoptosis through Akt Signalling

Figure 5

Effects of Ocimum gratissimum extracts on the activatation of Akt and MAPKs. H9c2 cells were pretreated with 0, 50, and 100  g/mL OGE for 3 hrs and then treated with H2O2 for 3 hrs. After the treatments, the H9c2 cells were lyzed for immunoblotting. The phosphorylation of Akt (p-Akt), ERK1/2 (p-ERK), p38 (p-p38), and JNK (p-JNK) are, respectively, indicated. -actin was used for normalization.
