Effects of MYQ on the expression of Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase-3. a Expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, upper is the representative blots of Bcl-2 and GAPDH; lower is the densitometric analysis of Bcl-2 expression normalized to GAPDH (n = 8). b Expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, upper is the representative blots of Bax and GAPDH; lower is the densitometric analysis of Bax expression normalized to GAPDH (n = 8). c Expression of the caspase-3, upper is the representative blots of caspase-3 and GAPDH; lower is the densitometric analysis of caspase-3 expression normalized to GAPDH (n = 8). Sham: Sham group; I/R: ischemic/reperfusion group. I/R + Low dose: Low dose (1 ml, P.O. tid for one-week or 1 month) MYQ treatment group. I/R + High dose: High dose (4 ml, P.O. tid for one-week or 1 month) MYQ treatment group. All data were expression as mean ± S.E.M. * P < 0.05 compared with I/R group
