1 Elevated expression of Bax was obviously observed after DOX treatment, while this elevation was prevented by MT induction by Zinc. Doxorubicin BCL2-associated X protein Mus musculus
2 CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that metallothionein induced by Zinc exhibits protective effects on the cardiac apoptosis of DOX, which might be mediated through the prevention of Bax protein up-regulation by DOX and associated elevation of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Doxorubicin BCL2-associated X protein Mus musculus
