Potential Protection of Coeloglossum viride var. Bracteatum Extract against Oxidative Stress in Rat Cortical Neurons
Figure 4
Neuroprotection by CE involves Bcl-2 and Csp3. (a) Representative western blot probed with an antibody specific against Bcl-2 after various treatments in the neurons. β-Actin served as an internal control. Summary of the optical density of Bcl-2. Results showed that CE significantly inhibited H2O2 induced decreases in the content of Bcl-2. (b) Representative western blot probed with an antibody specific against active Csp3 after Csp3 various treatments in the neurons. Actin served as an internal control. Summary of the optical density of active Csp3. Results showed that H2O2-induced activation of Csp3 was blocked by CE. * refers to a comparison of the control group; # refers to a comparison of the H2O2 group.
