4-PBA inhibits cell apoptosis in the skin flap of rats. Pretreatment with 4-PBA decreased the number of TUNEL-positive cells induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury. To estimate the number of TUNEL-positive cells, the TUNEL-positive area was determined using National Institutes of Health Image software. The error bars represent the mean ± standard deviation from five rats/group. *P<0.05, vs. the control group; #P<0.05, vs. the rats treated with saline (NC). NC, negative control; 4-PBA, 4-phenylbutyrate; TUNEL, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling.
