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

Figure 7

Effects of allicin on MDA and SOD levels in H9c2 cells. (a) Allicin downregulated MDA levels in H9c2 cells. (b) Allicin increased SOD activity in H9c2 cells. 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.
