Similar trends in Bax and Bcl-2 expression and loading-induced activity in normal and diabetic rat IVC. Basal (control) and loading (pressure)-induced regulation of (A.) Bax and (B.) Bcl-2. in venae cavae from non-diabetic lean Zucker (LNZ) and diabetic obese syndrome X Zucker (OSXZ) rats. * Significantly different from unloaded venae cavae within the same group (p < 0.05). n = 6/group.
