Dietary silybin addition mitigated PQ-induced intestinal apoptotic procedures. The activities of caspase 3 (A) and caspase 3 (B) in the jejunum. (C–G) The levels of apoptotic proteins in the jejunum were detected using Western blot. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01. Ctrl = basal diet group treated with saline; Si = silybin diet group treated with saline; PQ = basal diet group treated with paraquat; Si + PQ = silybin diet group treated with paraquat; Bcl-2 = B-cell lymphoma-2; Bax = Bcl-2-associated-X-protein; and Bcl-2/Bax = the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax.
