BDNF reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis after septic shock that was reduced by L-NAME. (a and b) Visualization (400x magnification) and quantitation of TUNEL positive cells in heart tissue. (c) Bax and Bcl-2 protein expression. (d) Total and cleaved caspase-3 protein expression. Data are mean ± SEM, with n = 8 animals per group. P < 0.05 versus sham; #P < 0.05 versus CLP; &P < 0.05 versus CLP + rhBDNF. CLP: cecal ligation and puncture; rhBDNF: recombined BDNF protein.
