Effects of Xiaoyaosan on the expression of the Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3 proteins and mRNAs in the rat hippocampus. (A) Expression of the Bcl-2 protein in the rat hippocampus. (B) Expression of the Bax protein in the rat hippocampus. (C) Expression of the Caspase-3 protein in the rat hippocampus. (D) Expression of the Bcl-2 mRNA in the rat hippocampus. (E) Expression of the Bax mRNA in the rat hippocampus. (F) Expression of the Caspase-3 mRNA in the rat hippocampus. Values are presented as the means ± SEM from 3–4 rats per group for the determination of the expression of the Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3 proteins and from 5 rats per group for the measurement of mRNA expression in the rat hippocampus. **P < 0.01 versus the control group. Δ P < 0.05 versus the vehicle (distilled water) group. ## P < 0.01 versus the vehicle (dissolvent) group.
