Figure 2. Inhibition of thromin-induced apoptosis by hirudin.

Figure 2

Hirudin significantly reduces apoptosis resulting from subsequent exposure to thrombin. DMV neurons were pretreated with hirudin (10U ml−1) for 30 min before exposure to thrombin (10U/ml). A. Representative. B. Mean change in cleavage of caspase-3. C. Mean change as measured by ELISA. Results are expressed as mean±SEM. * p<0.05. Bar represents 100 μm
