Protective effect of EVA on the Bcl-2/Bax ratio and caspase-3 activity in PC12 cells. Cells were incubated in the absence of Aβ1-42 or in the presence of 20 µM Aβ1-42 following pretreatment with EVA. (A) Levels of cleaved caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2 were observed under a microscope (6 fields of view; magnification, ×400). Semiquantitative image analysis of (B) cleaved caspase-3 levels, and (C) Bcl-2/Bax ratio. Data are presented as the percentage of the control group and expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (n=6). #P<0.01 compared with the control group untreated with Aβ1-42. *P<0.05 compared with the Aβ1-42-treated group. EVA, ethyl vanillin; Aβ, β-amyloid; Bax, apoptosis regulator Bax; Bcl-2, apoptosis regulator Bcl-2.
