Effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) knockout on cardiomyocyte apoptosis in rats 3 days post-myocardial infarction. (A) Effects of NPY knockout on cardiac apoptosis were evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling staining (nucleus stained in blue with 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole and apoptotic cells stained in green). (B) The percentage of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling-positive cell in different groups (n = 4, 100×). Scale bar = 100 μm. (C) The mRNA level of caspase-3 (n = 6). (D) Caspase-3 activity (n = 6). **P < 0.01 versus control, ## P < 0.01 versus myocardial infarction.
