Figure 3From: Eplerenone attenuated cardiac steatosis, apoptosis and diastolic dysfunction in experimental type-II diabetesEplerenone reduced apoptosis in HF-stimulated cardiomyocytes. (A) By flow cytometry, detection of apoptotic cardiomyocytes (sub G0/G1 phase) after HF (0.12 mM) and HF+eplerenone (10-6 M). (B) Caspase-3 activation. (C) Cell viability assayed by MTT in cardiomyocytes stimulated with HF and/or eplerenone. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 vs. related control. †p < 0.05 and ††p < 0.01 vs. HF.Back to article page
