Fig 2

(A) Cytoprotective effects of six ginsenosides in SH-SY5Y cell line against rotenone-mediated toxicity (range of concentrations: 0.5–10 μM), assessed by MTT reduction assay. Cells were pre-treated with ginsenosides for 24 h and then exposed to rotenone 50 μM for other 24 h. The viability of control cells was normalized to 100%. Means ± SD, * p < 0.05 Vs control, # p < 0.05 Vs rotenone. (B) Representative images of the morphological studies conducted on SH-SY5Y cell model with ginsenosides Rb1 and Rg1.
