Riluzole-Triggered GSH Synthesis via Activation of Glutamate Transporters to Antagonize Methylmercury-Induced Oxidative Stress in Rat Cerebral Cortex

Figure 6

The alteration of GLAST protein (a) and GLT-1 protein (b) in cerebral cortex after MeHg exposure and riluzole pretreatment was shown in this figure. Data are mean ± S.D. for four animals in every group and each RNA or protein preparation was run three times by real time-PCR or western blotting, *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01 denote statistical significance compared with control group; ^#𝑃<0.05, ^##𝑃<0.01 denote statistical significance compared with MeHg alone group.
