Oxidative Stress Induces Chondrocyte Apoptosis through Caspase-Dependent and Caspase-Independent Mitochondrial Pathways and the Antioxidant Mechanism of Angelica Sinensis Polysaccharide

Figure 5

The measurement of caspases activities in different groups. Cultured and treated chondrocytes were harvested, total proteins were extracted, and the levels of cleaved caspases were detected by assay kit. Results are presented as of three independent experiments. , versus normal control. #, ## versus H2O2 group.
