Neuroprotective Effects of Hesperidin, a Plant Flavanone, on Rotenone-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in a Cellular Model for Parkinson’s Disease
Figure 7
Effect of hesperidin on rotenone-induced cyt c and caspases 3 and 9 expressions in SK-N-SH cells. Rotenone (100 nM) significantly enhanced the expressions of cyt c, caspases 3 and 9, while hesperidin (20 μg) pretreatment significantly diminished the expressions of cyt c, caspases 3 and 9 in rotenone-treated SK-N-SH cells ((a), (b), and (c)). 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, compared to rotenone groups.
