Finally, Western blot analysis confirmed that various apoptosis-related markers (BAX, cleaved caspase-3, and the cleaved caspase-9/caspase-9 protein ratio) were elevated in the myocardium of DCM group mice but reduced instead after low-dose A-MG treatment (Figures 7E–H). The gene discussed is CASP3; the disease is familial dilated cardiomyopathy.
