Hyp prevents Ang II-induced apoptosis in bEnd.3 cells via inhibiting mitochondrial and death receptor signaling pathways. a Western blot analysis showed the levels of apoptosis-related proteins in five groups. Actin levels were measured for the confirmation of equal amount of protein loading. The blots of Bcl-2 and Bax were cropped from the same gel. The blots of Caspase-3 and Cleaved Caspase-3 were cropped from the same gel. The blots of Caspase-8 and Cleaved Caspase-8 were cropped from the same gel. The blots of Caspase-9 and Cleaved Caspase-9 were cropped from the same gel. b The data were represented as mean ± standard deviation of the mean from three independent experiments. ^#p < 0.05, ^##p < 0 .01 vs control. ^*p < 0 .05, ^**p < 0.01 vs Ang II (0.1 μM) group
