L-Carnitine Alleviates the Myocardial Infarction and Left Ventricular Remodeling through Bax/Bcl-2 Signal Pathway

Figure 4

L-carnitine inhibited the Bax/Bcl-2 signal pathway and improved myocardial infarction. (a) Levels of biomarkers for MI were measured after LC treatment. Data were expressed as . ; , , compared to the sham group. ^#, ^##, and ^###, compared to the model group. (b) Representative Western blots of Bax/Bcl-2 and the level of α-SMA in MI mice in the presence or absence of LC treatment. Data were expressed as . ; , , compared to the sham group. ^#, compared to the model group. (c) Immunofluorescent staining of α-SMA (green) and cTnT (red) were performed,  μm in original images and  μm in enlarged plots.
