Oral YGW treatment effectively alleviated apoptosis in the liver tissue of APAP-treated mice. (a) IHC staining showed the expression of the apoptosis-related marker c-caspase 3 in the liver tissue of sham-treated mice and APAP-treated mice after NAC, pre-YGW, post-YGW, and pre- and post-YGW treatments. Scale bar = 30 μm. (b) c-caspase 3/caspase 3 expression was significantly higher in the liver tissue of APAP-treated mice than in that of APAP-treated mice after NAC, pre-YGW, post-YGW, and pre- and post-YGW treatments (n = 3 for each group; values are presented as mean ± SEM).
