Analysis of apoptosis with western blot analysis and caspase-3 activity assay. (A) Representative gel images and (B) quantitative densitometric analysis of western blot analysis data demonstrating the expression levels of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins in the Sham + NS, Sham + DEX, MI + NS, and MI + DEX mice. (C) Analysis of caspase-3 activity assay in the Sham + NS, Sham + DEX, MI + NS, and MI + DEX mice. Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (n=6. *P<0.05. NS, normal saline; DEX, dexmedetomidine; MI, myocardial infarction.
