Figure 7.

The protective effect of red beetroot extract (RBR) on the cortical protein and gene expression of cytochrome c, Bax, caspase-3, and Bcl-2 in response to chlorpyrifos (CPF) exposition. Data of protein expression are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 7), whereas mRNA expression data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of triplicate assays, normalized to the GAPDH, and expressed as fold change (log2 scale), with respect to mRNA levels in the control group, P values < 0.05 indicate statistical significance. A; Significant change versus the control group, B; significant change versus the CPF group.
