Neuroprotective Effects of Hesperidin, a Plant Flavanone, on Rotenone-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in a Cellular Model for Parkinson’s Disease
Figure 6
Effect of hesperidin on rotenone-induced Bax and Bcl-2 expressions in SK-N-SH cells. Rotenone (100 nM) significantly enhanced the expression of Bax and diminished the expression of Bcl-2, while hesperidin (20 μg) pretreatment significantly diminished the expression of Bax and elevated the expression of Bcl-2 in rotenone-treated SK-N-SH cells ((a) and (b)). Western blot data are quantified by using β-actin as an internal control, and the values are expressed as arbitrary units and given as mean ± SD of four experiments in each group. compared to control, and compared to rotenone alone treated group.
