Alpinetin Attenuates Persistent Inflammation, Immune Suppression, and Catabolism Syndrome in a Septic Mouse Model

Figure 5

Effects of alpinetin on apoptosis of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in the spleen. Flow cytometry was then used to evaluate the apoptosis by detecting caspase-3 activation and cell death (PI positive) of CD4⁺ (a, c) and CD8⁺ (b, d) T cells in the spleen on the eighth day. Sham (), sham+Alp (), CLP (), and CLP+Alp (). Data are shown as . , CLP vs. sham; ^##, CLP-Alp vs. CLP.
