Immunoblot (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.
