Protective Activity of Aspirin Eugenol Ester on Paraquat-Induced Cell Damage in SH-SY5Y Cells

Figure 3

AEE antagonizes PQ-induced oxidative stress in SH-SY5Y cells. (a, c) AEE significantly inhibited the increase of superoxide anion level in SH-SY5Y cells induced by PQ. (b, d) AEE significantly inhibited the increase of ROS level in SH-SY5Y cells induced by PQ. (e, g) AEE significantly inhibited the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential induced by PQ in SH-SY5Y cells. (f, h) AEE significantly inhibited the increase of mitochondrial ROS in SH-SY5Y cells induced by PQ. Values are presented as the where applicable (). compared with the control group, # compared with the PQ group, and no significant difference (NS) . “+”: with the treatments in the SH-SY5Y cells; “−”: without the treatments in the SH-SY5Y cells.
