Fig. 7.

Effect of T3 on caspase activity. T3 modulate caspase-9 protein levels (a) and caspase-8, caspase-10, and caspase-12 activity (b, c, and d, respectively) in HeLa cells. Cells were treated with α-T3, γ-T3, δ-T3, or TRF (10 μg/ml) for 12 h or TM (5 μg/ml) for 4 h; CC indicates treatment with the vehicle only (DMSO). The panels show one representative experiment out of at least three separate experiments. The asterisks indicate significant differences (p value ≤0.05) between treated cells vs control (CC)
