α-Lipoic Acid-Plus Ameliorates Endothelial Injury by Inhibiting the Apoptosis Pathway Mediated by Intralysosomal Cathepsins in an In Vivo and In Vitro Endothelial Injury Model

Figure 5

The variation in oxidative stress after DFO and LAP administration under endothelial and HUVEC injury conditions. Levels of oxidative stress after DFO and LAP administration in endothelial tissue (a–d) and HUVECs (e–h). The mean values of the levels of ROS and TBARS and the activities of SOD and GSH-Px in the sham and control groups were normalized to 1.0. Data are shown as the . vs. sham and control groups; vs. CAII+vehicle and OxyHb groups; vs. CAII+DFO group and OxyHb+DFO group; .
