Figure 6 Protein Levels of Akt, gp130, and Caspase 3

Protein expression of Akt, gp130, and activated caspase 3 from infarct-only (broken lines) and infarct + mitral regurgitation (solid lines) sheep at baseline, 1 month follow-up (f/u), and 3 months sacrifice. Note the biphasic change in infarct + mitral regurgitation animals for gp130 and Akt expression at follow-up (high) and sacrifice, while no significant change is noted in caspase 3 levels. Values are ± standard error of the mean, *p < 0.01.
