Figure 6.
Effect of UPE on the expression of caspase-3 in kidney treated with D-gal. (a) The arrow in the image shows positive expression of caspase-3 protein and apoptosis (×400). (b) The expression of caspase-3. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (n = 9). * p < 0.05 compared with BC group; # p < 0.05 compared with NC group. BC: blank control, NC: negative control, PC: positive control, LD: low-dose UPE (50 mg/kg), HD: high-dose UPE (300 mg/kg).
