Photobiomodulation on Bax and Bcl-2 Proteins and SIRT1/PGC-1α Axis mRNA Expression Levels of Aging Rat Skeletal Muscle

Figure 2

mRNA quantification of SIRT1/PGC-1α axis genes in skeletal muscle subjected to 8-week LLLI. Real-time PCR is used to determine the expression of genes in gastrocnemius from the LLLI group or the CON group, relative to the endogenous control GAPDH. Values are means ± SE. 𝑛=10 for each group. ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 versus CON group.
