Effects of medications and ozone on the expression of ovarian apoptotic regulatory proteins in PM2.5-treated mice. (a) Images of Western blot for Bcl-2 and Bax. (b) Comparisons of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. (c) Images of Western blot for caspase-3. (d) Comparisons of the expression of caspase-3. Values are mean ± SD. Using one-way ANOVA, followed by LSD multiple range test, comparing with control group, significant difference is indicated by *P < 0.001, ‡P < 0.01 and §P < 0.05. Comparing with PM2.5 group, significant difference is indicated by †P < 0.001. SD: Standard deviation; ANOVA: Analysis of variance; LSD: Least significant difference; PM2.5: Fine particulate matter.
