Figure 3From: Regulation of PUMA induced by mechanical stress in rat cardiomyocytesAV shunt enhances rat myocardial apoptosis. (A) Representative microscopy images of rat myocardium after AV shunt, treatment of atorvastatin before AV shunt then stained with a TUNEL kit. Arrow means TUNEL positive cells. Similar results were observed in another two independent experiments. (B) Quantitative analysis of TUNEL positive cells (%).*P < 0.01 vs. control.Back to article page
