Effect of ACR and selenium on the level of proteins involved in apoptosis (Bax, Bcl-2 and caspase 3) in cerebral cortex tissue. A. specific bands for proteins involved in apoptosis (Bax, Bcl-2 and caspase 3), which have been investigated using Western Blot. B. Bax / Bcl-2 protein level data by densitometric analysis. C. Caspase 3 level data by densitometric analysis. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n=4). ANOVA and Post-test Tukey-Kramer were used for statistical analysis. # P< 0.05, ### P< 0.001, compared with control group, *P<0.05 * and **P<0.01 compared with ACR group
