APS modulated apoptosis-related proteins of the Bcl-2 family. H9C2 cells were pre-incubated with/without APS for 24 h and then treated with 33 mmol/L glucose for 24 h. The expression of VDAC was measured as an internal control for the mitochondrial proteins. a. Semi-quantitative expressions of mitochondrial Bax in different groups. b. Semi-quantitative expressions of mitochondrial Bcl-2 in different groups. Data were expressed as Mean ± SD. ^** P < 0.01 versus 5.5 mmol/L glucose group; ^# P < 0.05 versus 33 mmol/L glucose group
