Attenuated Cardiac Mitochondrial-Dependent Apoptotic Effects by Li-Fu Formula in Hamsters Fed with a Hypercholesterol Diet
Figure 3
(a) The representative protein products of cytosolic cytochrome c, caspase 9 and caspase 3 extracted from the left ventricles of excised hearts in hamsters of Control, Cholesterol and Li-Fu formula groups were measured by western blotting analysis. ((b), (c), and (d)) Bars represent the relative protein quantification of cytosolic cytochrome c, caspase 9 and caspase 3 on the basis of α-tubulin and indicate mean values ± SD (n = 6 in each group). **P < .01, significant differences between Control and Cholesterol group. ##P < .01, significant differences between Cholesterol and Li-Fu formula groups.
