Figure 1.
Schematic illustration of the effect of increased ROS production on Bcl-2 protein, MMP, caspase activity and intrinsic apoptotic pathway activation. ROS = Reactive oxygen species; MMP = Mitochondrial membrane potential; cyt-c = Cytochrome c; Apaf1 = Apoptotic peptidase activating factor 1; = Overproduction;
= Down regulation;
= Activation.
