Effect of Allicin against Ischemia/Hypoxia-Induced H9c2 Myoblast Apoptosis via eNOS/NO Pathway-Mediated Antioxidant Activity

Figure 2

Effect of allicin on rate of I/H-induced apoptosis in H9c2 cells, assessed by flow cytometry. (a) Representative images of H9c2 cell apoptosis during I/H. (b) Effect of allicin on rate of apoptosis. Five groups were evaluated: one group of control cells that were not pretreated with allicin and not subjected to I/H, one group of untreated H9c2 cells that were subjected to I/H, and three groups of H9c2 cells that were pretreated with 0.2, 1, and 5 μM allicin and subjected to I/H. independent experiments. The data are expressed as mean ± SEM. , compared with control; , compared with I/H. I/H, ischemia/hypoxia; AL, allicin.
