Induction of Ankrd1 in Dilated Cardiomyopathy Correlates with the Heart Failure Progression

Figure 3

ANKRD1 and adiponectin upregulation are associated with antiapoptotic response in progression of IDCM. (a) Difference in BAX/BCL-2 ratio between high and low RS groups. Data are presented as mean ± 2 s.e.m; value < 0.05 (Mann-Whitney test). (b) Relative expression levels of BAX and BCL-2. Data are presented as mean ± 2 s.e.m. value < 0.05 (Mann-Whitney test). (c) Difference in active caspase-3 levels between high and low RS groups. Data are presented as mean ± 2 s.e.m; value < 0.05 (Mann-Whitney test); (lower RS); (higher RS).
