TUNEL staining and the apoptotic rate of cardiomyocytes.

<p>The arrow refers to apoptotic cells. (A) In the normal group, a very few apoptotic cells were found. (B) In the I/R group, the apoptotic cells increased dramatically. (C) In the Res+I/R group, the number of apoptotic cells was far less than that in the I/R group, which suggested that Res lowered cell apoptosis induced by I/R. (D) The statistical data of apoptotic rate. ^*P<0.01 versus normal group, ^#P<0.01 versus I/R group. Values are the means ± SD, n = 10 in each group.
