Fig. 2: The effects of cell death inhibitors on brain mitochondrial function and brain mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD2) level.
From: Cell death inhibitors protect against brain damage caused by cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury
A Brain mitochondrial oxidative stress (ROS) level (n = 8–12/group); B brain mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD2) level (n = 6/group); C brain mitochondrial membrane potential changes (n = 8–12/group); D brain mitochondrial swelling (n = 8–12/group). Data are shown as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 vs. Sham, †P < 0.05 vs. Cardiac I/R + Vehicle. Veh: cardiac I/R rats treated with vehicle; L: cardiac I/R rats treated with low dose of cell death inhibitor; M: cardiac I/R rats treated with medium dose of cell death inhibitor; H: cardiac I/R rats treated with high dose of cell death inhibitor. I/R ischemia/reperfusion injury.
