Figure 5.
Effect of fraction III (6 µg/mL) on apoptosis, evaluated by propidium iodide assay via. cytofluorimetric technique (A) and Western blotting for evaluation of caspase-12 cleavage (B) on SH-SY5Y cells treated with 6-OHDA (50 µM). Related densitometric analysis is reported in (C). Data are expressed as percentage of hypodiploid nuclei. Results are showed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) from three independent experiments. #, ##, ### denote respectively p < 0.05, p < 0.01 and p < 0.001 vs. Ctrl; **, *** denote p < 0.01 and p < 0.001 vs. 6-OHDA.
