Effect of indicated treatment on the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) in cultured neurons. (a) Representative images of neurons stained by JC-1. Red fluorescence represents JC-1 aggregates in healthy (polarized) mitochondria, whereas green fluorescence represents cytosolic JC-1 monomers released from mitochondria with depolarized membranes. (b) The ΔΨm of neurons in each group was calculated as the fluorescence ratio of red to green. Mean ± SEM. per group. versus control group. versus t-BHP group. versus NSC-CM group.
