Lactobacillus plantarum ST-III culture supernatant protects against acute alcohol-induced liver and intestinal injury
Figure 3. Lactobacillus plantarum ST-III culture supernatant (LP-cs) ameliorates acute alcohol-induced liver apoptosis. (A) TUNEL-positive nuclear staining of liver from control, EtOH, LP-cs +EtOH mice (20 x: scale bars = 50 μm). (B) Protein expression of cleaved caspase-3 and GAPDH of liver from Control, EtOH, LP-cs +EtOH mice. (C) Quantification of relative number of TUNEL-positive cells. (D) Intensities of cleaved caspase-3 normalized to GAPDH. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01.
