NP-visnagin inhibited apoptosis in the ischemic region subsequent to IR. (A) In order to examine the effect of NP-visnagin on the rate of apoptosis in IR injury, a TUNEL assay was performed; green fluorescence indicates TUNEL-positive nuclei, indicating apoptotic cells, whereas blue fluorescence (DAPI) indicates all cells. (B) Quantification of apoptotic cells. (C) Caspase-3 and. (D) caspase-9 activity of the myocardium subsequent to IR. **P<0.01; ***P<0.005. NP, nanoparticles; IR, ischemia/reperfusion; TUNEL, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling.
