Potential Properties of Plant Sprout Extracts on Amyloid β

Figure 1

15% SDS-PAGE of the products of amyloid β (Aβ) (1–42) incubation with extracts from plant sprouts (PSE). SDS-PAGE illustrating the inhibition effect of PSE on Aβ (1–42). Lanes (from right to left) indicating the electrophoretic migration of Aβ (1–42) in the absence of PSE and in the presence of PSE. 1: Aβ (1–42); 2: cold water- (CW-) buckwheat sprout (BWS); 3: hot water- (HW-) buckwheat sprout (BWS); 4: methanol- (MH-) buckwheat sprout (BWS); 5: CW-red cabbage sprout (RCS); 6: HW-red cabbage sprout (RCS); 7: MH-red cabbage sprout (RCS); 8: CW-broccoli sprout (BS); 9: HW-broccoli sprout (BS); 10: MH-broccoli sprout (BS); 11: CW-brussels sprout (BRS); 12: HW-brussels sprout (BRS); 13: MH-brussels sprout (BRS); 14: CW-Japanese butterbur (JBB); 15: HW-Japanese butterbur (JBB); 16: MH-Japanese butterbur (JBB); 17: epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). MW shows a molecular weight marker. All tested samples were analyzed by 15% Tris-HCl-SDS-PAGE, followed by Quick-CBB PLUS staining, as described in the experimental part.
