Cardioprotective Effect of (Z)-2-Acetoxy-3-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl) Acrylic Acid: Inhibition of Apoptosis in Cardiomyocytes
Figure 3
(a) Expression of Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, and caspase-9 mRNA. (Z)-2-Acetoxy-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) acrylic acid treatment (15, 30, and 60 mg/kg) reduces the mRNA expression levels of apoptosis-related molecules in heart tissue. (b–e) Relative Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, and caspase-9 mRNA levels. Values are expressed as , versus MI. in each group.
