In Vitro Antiophidian Mechanisms of Hypericum brasiliense Choisy Standardized Extract: Quercetin-Dependent Neuroprotection
Figure 2
Effects of Cdt on the viability of hippocampal slices. (a) Hippocampal slices were incubated with HBE (100 μg/mL) in the presence or absence of Cdt (10 μg/mL) during 1 hour. (b) Hippocampal slices were incubated during 1 hour with Quercetin (10 μg/mL) in the presence or absence of Cdt (1 and 5 μg/mL). Cell viability was measured by MTT test. Values are expressed as % of control, which was defined as untreated slices (values are means ± S.E.M., ). On (b) note that quercetin mimicked the HBE protective activity. HBE: Hypericum brasiliense standardized extract** compared to control*.
