Comparative Neuroprotective Effects of Dietary Curcumin and Solid Lipid Curcumin Particles in Cultured Mouse Neuroblastoma Cells after Exposure to Aβ42

Figure 5

Cell survival markers proteins were enhanced by dietary Cur and/or SLCP after exposure to Aβ42. N2a cells were treated with Aβ42 (10 μM) for 24 h in absence or presence of dietary Cur and SLCP (1 μM). Western blot data indicated a significant increase in Cas-3 (b) and GSK-3β (e), with decreases in total Akt level (c), p-Akt (c and d), and PSD9 (f), whereas Cur and/or SLCP ameliorated these effects. and in comparison to group treated only with Aβ42.
