Figure 4From: Activation of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channel reduces apoptosis of spleen mononuclear cells induced by hyperlipidemiaIncreased levels of cytochrome c in the cytosol of spleen mononuclear cells from HTG mice. The cytochrome c content of mitochondrial (Mit) and cytosolic (Cyt) extracts were determined by Western blotting after 12% SDS-PAGE and staining with anti-cytochrome c antibody (~ 15 kDa), as described in the Materials and Methods Section. VDAC was used as the fraction purity control. The results are expressed as means ± SEM, n = 4. *P < 0.05 vs. WT.Back to article page
