Figure 3

Effect of Z-VAD-fmk and caspase 3 activity in isolated fetal rat lung fibroblast cells exposed to CSE. Caspase 3 activity and effect of Z-VAD-fmk was measured using caspase 3 fluorometric assay in isolated fetal rat lung fibroblast cells exposed to 5%, 10% or 15% (v/v) CSE for 60 minutes. Each bar represents the mean of ± SEM of three experiments of 16 samples each. (*) indicates significantly (p < 0.05) different from the corresponding controls.
