Expression of Bax and Bcl-2 Proteins in Left-Ventricular Cardiomyocytes in Wistar-Kyoto and SHR Rats with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Loss of cardiomyocytes due to apoptotic or necrotic death is an important component of the pathogenesis of heart failure. Initiation of apoptosis by the mitochondrial pathway depends on the balance between proapoptotic and antiapoptotic factors, in particular, Bax and Bcl-2. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis in essential hypertension is studied in sufficient details. At the same time, apoptotic processes in the myocardium in diabetes mellitus alone and in combination with essential hypertension remain poorly understood. Here we studied the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in the left ventricular cardiomyocytes of 38-week-old male Wistar-Kyoto rats and 38- and 57-week-old SHR rats with essential hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and a combination of these pathologies. Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus was modelled by a single parenteral administration of streptozotocin in a dose 65 mg/kg. Expression of Bax and Bcl-2 was assessed by the immunohistochemical method. In essential hypertension and diabetes mellitus, the apoptotic processes in the ventricular myocardium were enhanced, as is seen from the increase in the content of the proapoptotic factor Bax and a decrease in the expression of the antiapoptotic factor Bcl-2. However, in case of combined pathology, Bax content increased less markedly, while the expression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 was significantly increased.
