Attenuated Cardiac Mitochondrial-Dependent Apoptotic Effects by Li-Fu Formula in Hamsters Fed with a Hypercholesterol Diet
Figure 5
(a) The representative protein products of IGFIR, PI3K, p-AKT and AKT 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) and (c)) Bars represent the relative protein quantification of IGFI receptor and phosphorylated AKT 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.
