The Cardioprotective Effects of Citric Acid and L-Malic Acid on Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Figure 6

Effects of citric acid and L-malic acid on expression levels of cleaved caspase-3 (fold increase relative to normal control levels) after cardiomyocytes subjected to 3 h hypoxia followed by 6 h reoxygenation. Data are shown as mean±SD. ^##𝑃<0.01 versus normal control, ^∗∗𝑃<0.01, ^∗𝑃<0.05 versus model control. Results are representative of three independent experiments.
