Cardiac caspase activities and content following PMMTM exposure. Fluorometric analysis of enzymatic activities of caspase-8 (A), caspase-9 (B), and caspase-3 (C) from the cytosol of rat left ventricles exposed by instillation to either vehicle control or PMMTM. Data are expressed as arbitrary units (AU). Relative protein contents of activated caspases from cytosolic fractions from left ventricles of rats exposed by instillation to either vehicle control or PMMTM. Representative Western blots (top) and densitometric analyses (bottom) for total protein content of caspase-8 (D), caspase-9 (E), and caspase-3 (F). All Western blots are expressed per GAPDH levels. Values are means ± SE; n = 6 for each group. *P < 0.05 for control vs. exposed.
