HXWTF inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis of post-ischemic hearts. Myocardial apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL staining (a). Red arrow indicates apoptotic cardiomyocytes in heart tissues. Scaling is as indicated, Scale bar 50 μm. Quantificative analysis of the number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes (b). Representative western blot bands were shown for Bcl-2 and Bax in heart tissues (c). Quantitative analysis of Bcl-2 and Bax expressions, as well as Bcl-2/Bax ratio (d). The results were normalized to the sham group. **P< 0.01, *P< 0.05 compared to the sham group; ##P< 0.01, #P< 0.05 compared to the model group. Values are presented as mean ± SD (n = 4 per group)
