Parkia biglobosa Improves Mitochondrial Functioning and Protects against Neurotoxic Agents in Rat Brain Hippocampal Slices

Figure 6

Effect of PBE and catechin on cerebral enzymes activities. Effect of PBE and catechin on -ATPase (a) and total acetylcholinesterase activities (b) in rats’ brain hippocampal slices homogenate. Hippocampal slices were preincubated with P. biglobosa extract, PBE (25, 50, 100, or 200 g/mL), or catechin (1, 5, or 10 g/mL) for 1 h and 30 min. Slices homogenates were assayed for the activity of -ATPase. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. versus untreated slices/homogenate (control), as determined by one-way ANOVA followed by the Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test.
