Death-Associated Protein Kinase 1 (DAPK1) Protects against Myocardial Injury Induced by Myocardial Infarction in Rats via Inhibition of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress

Figure 3

Inhibition of DAPK1 alleviates AMI-induced oxidative injury. The activities of MDA (a), GSH (b), SOD (c), and CAT (d) were measured to determine the level of oxidative stress in rat myocardial tissue. The mRNA expression of Prdx1 (e), Prdx4 (f), GPX1 (g), and GPX3 (h) was detected by RT-PCR. The protein expression of Prdx1 and Prdx4 was detected by IHC staining (magnification: 200x) (i) (“” means vs. sham group, and “#” means vs. AMI group).
