Renal apoptosis-related protein expressions. Representative immunoblots for (a) Bax, (b) cytochrome c, (c) caspase-3, and (d) survivin. Immunoblotting analyses were performed as described in Materials and Methods. Sham, sham rats; Nx-Veh, nephrectomized vehicle-treated rats; Nx-HJG, nephrectomized Hachimi-jio-gan-treated rats; Nx-BJG, nephrectomized Bakumi-jio-gan-treated rats. Data are the mean±S.E.M. Significance: ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.01, ^∗∗∗𝑃<0.001 versus sham rats; ^#𝑃<0.05, ^##𝑃<0.01, ^###𝑃<0.001 versus nephrectomized vehicle-treated rats.
