Figure 6

(A) Representative pictures of sections stained with TUNEL (×400). Green fluorescence indicated TUNEL-positive apoptotic nuclei; blue fluorescence indicated total cardiomyocyte nuclei. (B) Quantification of the TUNEL positive cell. (C) MDA level in the myocardium. (D) SOD level in the myocardium. *P < 0.05; #P < 0.01. MIR indicates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury; c-MB, control microbubble; US, ultrasound; hs-MB, microbubble loaded with hydrogen sulfide; MDA, malondialdehyde; SOD, superoxide dismutase; NS, not significant.
