Effects of carnosine on the apoptosis. Western blot analysis of c-caspase 3 (a) and Bcl-2 (b) protein levels in C. elegans after LPS exposure. PCR annlysis of ced-3 (c) and ced-9 (d) gene expression in C. elegans after LPS exposure. Date are presented as means±SEM. ###P < 0.001, ##P < 0.01, #P < 0.05, vs. the vehicle group; ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, vs. the LPS + vehicle group
