Figure 3. Effect of methylglyoxal and edaravone on the resistance of human brain endothelial monolayers.

Figure 3

The effect of methylglyoxal on the resistance of human brain endothelial cells (hCMEC/D3) after 4-hours treatment (A). Protective effect of 3 mM edaravone (MG + E;) and 2 mM aminoguanidine (MG + AG) on methylglyoxal (MG, 600 µM) induced changes in the resistance of cell layers (4 hours co-treatment), and effect of 3 mM edaravone (E) and 2 mM aminoguanidine (AG) alone (B). TEER values are expressed as percentage of control (C). Values presented are means ± SD, n = 4. Statistical analysis: ANOVA followed by Dunnett test. Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) from the control group (#) and from the methylglyoxal treated group (*) are indicated.
