DMC protects SH-SY5Y cells against rotenone induced apoptosis. a Photomicrograph showing the antiapoptotic effect of DMC (50 nM) against rotenone at a concentration of 100 nM effective dose. a Control, b rotenone, c DMC + rotenone, and d DMC. b Rotenone (100 nM) treatment induced cell apoptosis compared to control cells; pretreatment with DMC (50 nM) suppresses these apoptotic features. Values are given as mean ± SEM of four independent experiments in each group. *p<0.05 compared to control and #p<0.05 compared to rotenone group (DMRT)
