Primary Mechanism Study of Panax notoginseng Flower (Herb) on Myocardial Infarction in Rats

Figure 4

Effects of drugs on TUNEL data (apoptotic cells) in the peri-infarct and remote area after 2 weeks of ischemia. After myocardial infarction and administration, heart tissues were collected and subjected to a TUNEL assay. Under the fluorescence microscope of 200 magnified fields, apoptotic cells in the peri-infarct (a) and remote (b) area were pictured and counted (c). Sham: sham group; MI: myocardial infarction control group; FD500: Panax notoginseng flower decoction (500 mg/kg/d); FD1000: Panax notoginseng flower decoction (1000 mg/kg/d); MI + Bet: Betaloc (10 mg/kg/d). Apoptotic cell numbers are expressed as mean ± SD (). and vs sham group; and vs MI control group.
