Protective effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Carthamus tinctorius extract against lipopolysaccharide-induced liver injury

Figure 5 Effects of Danhong injection on liver caspase-3 activity. A: Caspase-3 enzymatic activity was measured using a modified commercial kit. Values are mean ± SE (n = 8); B: Caspase-3 mRNA expression was detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Values are mean ± SE (n = 3) of three independent experiments. ^bP < 0.05, ^dP < 0.01 vs blank control group, ^dP < 0.01 vs lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated group.
