Effects of levosimendan on apoptosis caused by peroxidation in hepatocytes.

Abstract

<p>In A, B and C, effects of levosimendan on p-Bax, p-Caspase 9 and Caspase 8, respectively. Densitometric analysis and an example of lanes taken in one of 5 different experiments performed for each experimental protocol are reported.
