Fig 1: Levels of caspase-3, -8 and -9 in mice heart from all experimental groups.Each bar represents mean ± SE, n = 5/group. Mice were pretreated with AA (20 mg/kg b.w.) for 4 days, and then challenged with a single dose of LPS (1.5 µg/30 g b.w). One way ANOVA is followed by LSD as a post hoc test. Mean values with different superscript letters are significantly different, p < 0.05, whereas means with the same superscript letter are not significantly different, p > 0.05.
Fig 2: (a) TNF-α: ISO/CCrP rats given a dose of 0.8 g/kg/day showed a significant reduction in TNF-α compared to the ISO/saline rats; (b) TGF-β: ISO/CCrP rats showed a significant reduction in TGF-β compared to the ISO/saline rats; (c) Tn I: ISO/CCrP rats showed a significant reduction in Tn I compared to the ISO/saline rats; (d) Caspase-3: ISO/CCrP rats showed a significant reduction in Caspase-3 contents compared to the ISO/saline rats; (e) eNOS: ISO/CCrP rats showed a significant increase in eNOS contents compared to the ISO/saline rats; and (f) connexin-43 β-actin: ISO/CCrP rats showed a significant increase in connexin-43 β-actin contents compared to the ISO/saline rats. Data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. of 4–6 rats. *: statistical significance (p < 0.05) compared to the saline/control group. #: statistical significance (p < 0.05) compared to the ISO + saline group. ISO: isoproterenol; CCrP: cyclocreatine phosphate; TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor-alpha; TGF-β: transforming growth factor-beta; and eNOS: endothelial nitric oxide synthase.
