Low-Dose Methylmercury-Induced Apoptosis and Mitochondrial DNA Mutation in Human Embryonic Neural Progenitor Cells

Figure 3

Effect of MeHg on the production of ROS in hNPCs. (a) Cells were treated with 0 nM, 10 nM, and 50 nM MeHg, and the level of ROS was measured by fluorescence microscopic images of DCF-DA signal. (b) The relative ROS levels were presented as fold differences based on control. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (). when compared with the corresponding control group (dose: 0 nM).
