Effects of ALA on apoptosis in the heart, kidney and small intestine kidney of CLP-induced septic rats. CLP induced markedly increased TUNEL-positive cells in heart, kidney and small intestine. ALA reduced the apoptotic cells in these organs, 3-MA partly reversed this effect of ALA. (A) TUNEL staining of the three organs. (B) Quantitative analysis of the percentage of TUNEL-positive cells. Scale bar: 50 μm. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD, n = 8. **P < 0.01 vs. sham-operated rats; ##P < 0.01 vs. CLP-operated rats, P < 0.05 vs. ALA-treated CLP rats, ††P < 0.01 vs. ALA-treated CLP rats.
