Neuroprotective effect of resveratrol in diabetic cerebral ischemic-reperfused rats through regulation of inflammatory and apoptotic events

Table 4 Effect of resveratrol on apoptotic markers (cerebral apoptotic index and optical density mean of BAX immunohistochemical reaction)

	N	D	D + Res	DIR	DIR + Res
Cerebral apoptotic index	0.1 ± 0.01	0.91 ± 0.13*	0.48 ± 0.1^a	1.22 ± 0.12*^#	0.52 ± 0.08^b
Optical density mean of BAX reaction	55.4 ± 6.33	111.8 ± 13.13*	79.71 ± 7.16^a	142.4 ± 15.31*^#	83.74 ± 7.53^b

All results were expressed as mean ± SD, (n = 6).
*Significantly different from N at P < 0.01.
^#Significantly different from D at P < 0.01.
^aSignificantly different from D at P < 0.05.
^bSignificantly different from DIR at P < 0.05.
N, D, D + Res, DIR, DIR + Res represent control, diabetic, diabetic treated with resveratrol, diabetic with cerebral ischemic-reperfusion, diabetic with cerebral ischemic-reperfusion treated with resveratrol groups.
