Amifostine Pretreatment Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury by Inhibiting Apoptosis and Oxidative Stress

Figure 2

Effect of amifostine pretreatment on H9c2 cell viability. (a) Effects of different concentrations of TBHP on H9c2 cell viability. The cell viability was markedly inhibited in the 100 μM and 200 μM TBHP groups. (b) Effects of amifostine pretreatment on H9c2 cell viability subjected to TBHP. Pretreatment with 100 μM amifostine group significantly enhanced cell viability compared with the TBHP group. Data are shown as means ± SEM; , 100 μM TBHP group or 200 μM TBHP group versus control group; , 100 μM amifostine versus TBHP group; per group.
