Figure 5 (A) Representative caspase-9–like (LEHDase) and (B) caspase-3–like (DEVDase) activities in heart left ventricle of sham and CLP wild-type mice and mice overexpressing Bcl-2. Inset panel presents LEHDase maximal fluorescence intensity (counts per second [cps]) measured (em = 437 nm) as means ± SEM of in each group (sample size is 12 in each group). Results are analyzed by means of one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni’s multiple comparison post hoc adjustment. *p = 0.005 versus sham mice (Bonferroni adjusted; 10 comparisons). p = 0.005 versus CLP mice (Bonferroni adjusted; 10 comparisons). Abbreviations as in Figure 2.
