Table 3. Measurement of mouse pituitary cell apoptosis.

Groups Alive cells Necrotic cells Apoptotic cells
pshRNA-2 81.62±1.47** 7.39±0.74 8.77±0.51*
pshRNA-negative 87.76±1.16 5.08±0.56 3.58±0.96
PBS 84.98±1.23 6.40±0.65 5.80±2.09

There were significantly less apoptotic cells and more vital cells in the pShRNA-2 group compared to those of pShRNA-negative and PBS group respectively. [Means±SE, n = 3].

All results were evaluated by One-way ANOVA,

[*] P<0.05

[**] P<0.01 indicates level of significance in columns.
