Figure Lengend Snippet: SC suppresses apoptosis in vivo . Ovarian Granulosa Cells intervene in multiple pathophysiological indicators. Examination of apoptosis in laying hens by TUNEL assay. (A-B) Results revealed that treatment with different doses of SC resulted in decreased apoptosis. (C-J) The protein and mRNA expression of Bax, Cyt c, Cleaved Caspase-3, and Bcl-2.
Article Snippet: The membranes underwent blocking with 5% skimmed milk diluted in PBS, and afterwards incubated employing primary antibodies against β-actin (GB15001, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), IP3R (GB11742, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), GRP75 (GB11852, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), VDAC1 ( GB111939 , Servicebio, Wuhan, China), Bcl-2 (26593-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, China), Bax (50599-2-Ig, Proteintech, Wuhan, China), Cyt c (WL02410, Wanleibio, Shenyang, China), Cleaved Caspase-3 (WL01992, Wanleibio, Shenyang, China), GPR41 ( OM184469 , Omnimabs, California, United States), GPR43 ( OM255320 , Omnimabs, California, United States), Occludin (WL01996, Wanleibio, Shenyang, China) and ZO-1(21773-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, China) overnight at 4°C with gentle shaking.
