Alterations in Lipid Levels of Mitochondrial Membranes Induced by Amyloid-ß: A Protective Role of Melatonin
Figure 3
Brains of animals injected with Aβ showed a significant reduction in membrane fluidity as compared with PBS-injected brains, although less obvious than the observed in H2O2-injected brains, used as a positive control, which is in concordance with the degree of the free radicals overproduction, as shown in the previous graphic. Membrane fluidity in animals receiving melatonin was restored at the same level than the PBS group.
