Effects of Glu, Vit E/Glu, TQ 2.5/Glu, and TQ 10/Glu on Casp-3 level.

Group	−ve control	Glu	Vit E/Glu	TQ 2.5/Glu	TQ 10/Glu
Concentration of Caspase-3 (ng/ml)	7.833 ± 1.218	37.43 ± 2.260*	18.15 ± 0.7610@	13.95 ± 0.4288@	5.550 ± 0.2742@,#,X

Glu was injected i.p. as a single dose for 7 days. TQ and Vit E were injected as a single dose for 7 days. Animals in each group were subjected to the neurobehavioral tests before being sacrificed. The brains were isolated and homogenized as 10% homogenate in 0.1 M PBS then centrifuged, and supernatants were used in the Casp-3 ELISA kit. Statistical analyses of mean Casp-3 level were performed using ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison tests, by graph pad prism 5. Each value represent the mean value of 12 rats ± SEM.
