Figure 5. PKSOD treatment decreases myocyte apoptosis.

Figure 5

Three days after surgery, IR injury significantly increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis in the left ventricle compared to sham operated animals that was not attenuated by empty polyketal (PK) or free SOD1 treatment. In contrast, PKSOD treatment was able to significantly reduce the TUNEL-positive myocyte count. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n≥6 per group). *p<0.05; ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test.
