PD treatment reduces Bax upregulation, Bcl-2 downregulation and cytochrome c release in cortex following middle cerebral artery occlusion. (A) Bax and Bcl-2 protein expression levels in the cortex were detected by western blot. (B) Quantification of Bax protein expression levels relative to GAPDH. (C) Quantification of Bcl-2 protein expression levels relative to GAPDH. (D) Cytosolic cytochrome c levels were determined using a cytochrome c ELISA kit. Data are presented as the mean + standard deviation (n=6 in each group). *P<0.05 vs. sham group; #P<0.05 vs. vehicle group. PD, polydatin; Bax, Bcl-associated protein X apoptosis regulator; Bcl-2, B-cell lymphoma 2 apoptosis regulator.
