Fig. 7From: Pre-ischemic exercise reduces apoptosis in hippocampal CA3 cells after cerebral ischemia by modulation of the Bax/Bcl-2 proteins ratio and prevention of caspase-3 activationEffects of exercise preconditioning on the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in the rats’ hippocampal CA3 neurons after transient global cerebral ischemia. Exercise preconditioning significantly modulated the ischemia/reperfusion-induced increase in the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. *Significantly different compared with the sham group (P < 0.05). #Significantly different compared with the ischemia group (P < 0.05)Back to article page
