AsIV decreased myocardial cells apoptosis. a Cell apoptosis assayed by TUNEL staining. TUNEL-positive cells were manifested as a marked appearance of dark brown apoptotic cell nuclei. b–d Bax, bcl-2, and cleaved-caspase-3 expressions assayed by western blot. Data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. **P < 0.01 vs. Con group, ^##P < 0.01 vs. MI/R group
