Effects of SE, AST, and PHA on PERK/GRP78/CHOP and BAX/Bcl-2 signaling pathways in MSG-intoxicated rats: (A) PERK, (B) GRP78, (C) CHOP, (D) BAX and (E) Bcl-2. The data are presented as means ± S.E.M (n = 6). Significance (a): relative to the control group, (b): relative to MSG group, (c): relative to PHA + MSG, (d): relative to SE + MSG, (e): relative to AST + MSG, and (f): relative to SE + AST + MSG. P-value < 0.05. Monosodium glutamate (MSG); Physical activity (PHA); Sesamol (SE); Astaxanthin (AST); COMB (SE + AST + PHA); Protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK), Glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), Pro-apoptotic C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), Bcl-2-associated X protein (BAX), B-cell lymphoma 2 protein (Bcl-2)
