A, B Measurement of apoptotic and cell viability markers in the studied groups. MMP (A), and caspase-3 enzyme (B). Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM. ns: nonsignificant, ****p < 0.0001. C, D Pearson’s correlation and simple linear regression of pooled values of all studied groups show a significant positive correlation between Hcy and caspase-3 (C) and a significant negative correlation between Hcy and MMP (D). n: number of values = 50, r: Pearson’s correlation coefficient
