Red Ginseng Extract Attenuates Kainate-Induced Excitotoxicity by Antioxidative Effects

Figure 7

Effect of RGE and scavengers on BDNF levels in KA-treated hippocampal neurons. Immunoblots of lysed embryonic rat hippocampi 2 days following administration of RGE or KA are shown. Neurons were exposed to KA at concentrations of 0, 30, 50, 70, and 100 μM for 48 h. Neurons were exposed to 100 μM KA at 1 h after 0.01–1.0 mg/mL of RGE, trolox (100 μM), and DMTU (100 μM) treatment. GAPDH levels were measured to confirm equal protein loading.
