Figure 5.Effect of GE on sepsis-induced kidney tissue apoptosis. The apoptosis of cells in kidney was detected using TUNEL assay (A). The TUNEL-positive cells were quantified (B). The expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins such as Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved caspase 3 and caspase 3 were measured with western blot (C–F). ***p<0.001 vs the sham group. #, ##, ###p<0.05, 0.01, 0.001 CLP group.
