Curcumin attenuates H/R-induced injury and apoptosis in H9C2 cells. (A) Curcumin reversed the inhibitory effects of H/R on H9C2 cell viability. Curcumin pretreatment attenuated the effects of H/R on the levels of (B) LDH, (C) MDA and (D) SOD. Effects of curcumin on H/R-induced increases in (E) ROS levels and (F) apoptosis. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (n=3). *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. Con; ^P<0.05, ^^P<0.01 vs. H/R; #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 vs. Cur. Con, control (normoxic culture conditions); Cur, curcumin; H/R, hypoxia/reoxygenation; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; MDA, malondialdehyde; OD, optical density; PI, propidium iodide; ROS, reactive oxygen species; SOD, superoxide dismutase.
