Figure 9From: Chemopreventive effect of cactus Opuntia ficus indica on oxidative stress and genotoxicity of aflatoxin B1Immunoblot (a) and densitometric (b) analysis of bcl2 in liver of control and treated animals. The protein was separated on 12% SDS-PAGE and blotted with anti-bcl2 antibody. The intensity of the protein band was scanned by densitometry. Results are significantly different as compared to controls (p < 0.005). The results are representative of nine independent experiments: (1) Animals treated by 100 μl H2O. (2) Animals treated by mixture of DMSO/H2O (1:1; v:v). (3) Animals treated by CCE 50 mg/Kg b.w. (4) Animals treated 15 days by AFB1 250 μg/Kg b.w. (5) Animals treated by CCE 50 mg/Kg b.w before AFB1 250 μg/Kg b.w exposure for 15 days treatment. (6) Animals treated by CCE 50 mg/Kg b.w after AFB1 250 μg/Kg b.w exposure for 15 days treatment. (7) Animals treated 30 days by AFB1 250 μg/Kg b.w. (8) Animals treated by CCE 50 mg/Kg b.w before AFB1 250 μg/Kg b.w exposure for 30 days treatment. (9) Animals treated by CCE 50 mg/Kg b.w after AFB1 250 μg/Kg b.w exposure for 30 days treatment.Back to article page
