Effects of pharmacological intervention on the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase-3 in pancreatic tissues. Western blot analysis showing the expressions of Bax (A), Bcl-2 (B), and cleaved caspase-3 (C) in pancreatic tissues (cropped blots) normalized to β-actin. Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Figure 4. Bar graphs presented show mean ± SEM. n = 6 rats per group. C - control group; DM - diabetic group; DMI - diabetic plus insulin group; DMIS - diabetic and insulin plus atorvastatin group; DMS - diabetic plus atorvastatin group; CS - control plus atorvastatin. *p < 0.05 vs. control group and control plus atorvastatin groups, p < 0.05 vs. diabetic group, p < 0.05 vs. diabetic plus insulin group, and #p < 0.05 vs. diabetic plus atorvastatin group.
