Figure 6From: Early combined treatment with sildenafil and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells preserves heart function in rat dilated cardiomyopathyProtein Expressions of eNOS, SDF-1α, Caspase 3 and Bcl-2 in LV Myocardium on Day 90 after DCM Induction. A) eNOS protein expression. * p < 0.01 between the indicated groups. B) SDF-1α protein expression. * p < 0.045 between the indicated groups C) Caspase 3 protein expression. * p < 0.05 between the indicated groups. D) Bcl-2 protein expression. * p < 0.05 between the indicated groups. All symbols (*, †, ‡, ¶) in A) to D) indicate significant difference (at 0.05 level) by Tukey multiple comparison procedure (n = 8 in each group).Back to article page
