Protein levels of Caspase-3, Bax, and Bcl-2 in rats from each group 7 days after MI model establishment.

	Sham	MI	MI + Levo
Caspase-3/β-actin	0.21 ± 0.02	0.46 ± 0.04∗	0.28 ± 0.02#
Bax/β-actin	0.58 ± 0.03	1.13 ± 0.16∗	0.76 ± 0.06#
Bcl-2/β-actin	1.24 ± 0.06	0.69 ± 0.05∗	0.87 ± 0.08#△

Data are presented as mean ± SD for n = 4. MI: myocardial infarction; Levo: levosimendan; ^#p < 0.05, MI + Levo group versus MI group; ^Δp < 0.05, MI + Levo group versus control group; ^∗p < 0.05, MI group versus control group.
