Figure 4

Bcl-2 (A) and caspase-3 (B) protein levels in the brain tissue of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rats 24 hours after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (mean ± SD).

Compared with the sham-surgery (sham) group, the levels of Bcl-2 protein were significantly decreased and the levels of caspase-3 protein were significantly increased in the MCAO group.

Data are expressed as absorbance ratio of target protein to β-actin (n = 3, two-sample t-test). aP < 0.01, vs. sham-surgery group.
