The Impact of Adenosine Fast Induction of Myocardial Arrest during CABG on Myocardial Expression of Apoptosis-Regulating Genes Bax and Bcl-2

Table 2

TUNEL positive and negative subgroups (of the ventricular samples) in both the adenosine and control groups in correlation with the changes of apoptosis-regulating genes in the atria samples.
