Neuroprotective Effects of Hesperidin, a Plant Flavanone, on Rotenone-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in a Cellular Model for Parkinson’s Disease

Figure 5

Alteration in mitochondrial membrane potential of control, hesperidin, and rotenone-treated SK-N-SH cells. Rotenone (100 nM) significantly decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, while hesperidin (20 μg) pretreatment significantly increased MMP in rotenone-treated SK-N-SH cells ((a) and (b)). Values are given as mean ± S.D of four experiments in each group. compared to control, and compared to rotenone groups (DMRT).
