Cardioprotective Effect of (Z)-2-Acetoxy-3-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl) Acrylic Acid: Inhibition of Apoptosis in Cardiomyocytes
Figure 1
The antioxidant effects of (Z)-2-acetoxy-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) acrylic acid were implicated by the enhanced activities of catalase (CAT) (a), superoxide dismutase (SOD) (b), glutathione (GSH) (c), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) (d), and GST and the levels of glutathione S-transferase (GST) (e) in the serum. On the other hand, (Z)-2-acetoxy-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) acrylic acid treatment reduced levels of serum malondialdehyde (MDA) (f) in a dose-dependent manner. # versus sham, versus MI, and in each group.
