Nutritional Preconditioning of Apigenin Alleviates Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury via the Mitochondrial Pathway Mediated by Notch1/Hes1

Figure 8

GSI or Atr abolished the protective effects of Api pretreatment on the maintenance of mitochondrial function after SI/R injury. (a) Flow cytometric histograms and column bar graph showing DCF fluorescence intensities. (b) The MMP levels evaluated by the ratio of fluorescence in the upper right quadrant and lower right quadrant. (c) The extent of mPTP opening evaluated as absorbance at 520 nm/min (ΔODmin-1) changes (). (d) Western blots showing cytosolic cytochrome c levels in cardiomyocytes. Values are presented as of 6 individual experiments. (a) vs. control group; (b) vs. SI/R group; (c) vs. Api + SI/R group.
