DHT inhibited apoptosis to facilitate the anti-inflammation effect. a The representative photomicrographs of a left ventricle section of the heart showed the expression of Cleaved caspase-3 under different treatment, scale bar = 20 μm. N = 5 per group. b Western blots detected the expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins in heart tissues. N = 5 per group. c The results of Hoechst staining under different treatment, scale bar = 40 μm. N = 12 per group. d Western blots assessed the expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins in H9C2 cells. N = 5 per group. All data were presented as means ± SD in triplicate. ^*p < 0.05, ^**p < 0.01, ^***p < 0.001 is significantly different as indicated, for values in the DOX group. ^#p < 0.05, ^##p < 0.01 is significantly different as indicated, for values in the DOX + DHT group
