Western blottings of the levels of Bax (panel A), Bcl-2 (panel B) and cytochrome-c (panel C) proteins. HT29 cells were treated with maslinic acid at concentrations of IC50 and IC80 for 48 and 72 h. The levels of protein expression are expressed as arbitrary intensity units of each band compared to arbitrary intensity units of actin. The variations in relative percentages of the expression of Bax, Bcl-2 and cytochrome-c for each time and concentration are also shown. The values represent means ± SD of at least three separate experiments.
