Figure 1

Caspase-3 immunoreactivity of erythrocytes (immunoperoxidase). Baseline caspase-3 positivity of erythrocytes in rats of non-DM group (a). Red arrows show caspase-3 positive erythrocytes in brown color in rats of DM group (b). Caspase-3 positive erythrocytes, aggregated and adhered to vascular endothelium in diabetic rat (c). Caspase-3 positive erythrocytes occluding vascular spaces presented in higher magnification endothelium in diabetic rat (d). Magnifications are 400 in (a), (b), and (c), and 1000 in (d).
