Calycosin Improves Intestinal Mucosal Barrier Function after Gastrectomy in Rats through Alleviating Bacterial Translocation, Inflammation, and Oxidative Stress

Figure 6

Calycosin reduces Bax and cleaved caspase 3 and increases Bcl-2 in intestine of rats with gastrectomy. (a) Western blot of the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase 3 in intestine tissues of control, sham, model, and 20, 40, or 80 mg/kg calycosin group. (b–e) The levels of Bax, Bcl-2, and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio along with cleaved caspase 3 in intestine tissues of control, sham, model, and 20, 40, or 80 mg/kg calycosin group ().
