Magnolia Extract (BL153) Protection of Heart from Lipid Accumulation Caused Cardiac Oxidative Damage, Inflammation, and Cell Death in High-Fat Diet Fed Mice

Figure 5

BL153 prevented HFD-induced cardiac apoptotic cell death. Myocardial apoptotic cell death was examined by TUNEL staining (Bar = 50 μm). Arrows indicate TUNEL positive nuclei. The results were expressed as average number of TUNEL positive nuclei per five high power field under a microscopy. Data were means ± SD (𝑛=5). ^a𝑃<0.05 versus control; ^b𝑃<0.05 versus HFD group.
