Anacardium microcarpum Promotes Neuroprotection Dependently of AKT and ERK Phosphorylation but Does Not Prevent Mitochondrial Damage by 6-OHDA

Figure 1

6-OHDA autoxidation in the presence of A. microcarpum and GSH. The autoxidation of 6-OHDA (500 μM) was followed spectrophotometrically by monitoring the formation of p-quinone at 490 nm in the presence or absence of extract or fractions (a) 6-OHDA + AMHE, (b) 6-OHDA + AMMF, and (c) 6-OHDA + AMEAF. GSH 10 mM was used as positive control preventing 6-OHDA autoxidation. Data are expressed as percentage of the untreated control ± SE (). as compared to GSH control. ## and ### as compared to 6-OHDA group.
