Caspase 3 in DEF vs. AI G93A mice.

<p>Pro-caspase 3 (A and B), cleaved caspase 3 (C and D) and cleaved/pro-caspase 3 (E and F) protein content (arbitrary units; AU) in spinal cord of 42 G93A mice: 23 adequate vitamin D₃ intake (AI; 1 IU D₃/g feed; 12 M, 11 F) and 19 deficient vitamin D₃ intake (DEF; 0.025 IU D₃/g feed; 10 M, 9 F). There was no significant difference in pro-caspase 3, cleaved caspase 3 and cleaved/pro-caspase 3 protein content between the diets or between the sexes. Data presented as means ± SEM.
