Inhibition of Cardiac Hypertrophy Effects in D-Galactose-Induced Senescent Hearts by Alpinate Oxyphyllae Fructus Treatment

Figure 1

AOF treatment reduced senescent changes in aged rat hearts. (a) SA-b-gal staining results for cardiac tissues from study groups of rats. Blue precipitation in the cytoplasm was observed in the senescent cells. 200 magnification. (b) Representative aging-related protein products extracted from the left ventricles of study rats in each group. (c) Representative antioxidants protein products extracted from the left ventricles of study rats in each group, control rats; IA, induced aging rats; AL, AOF low; AM, AOF medium; AH, AOF high, were measured using Western blotting. β-Actin and GADPH were used as an internal control. and compared with the control group; , , and compared with the induced aging. = three independent experiments for each data point.
