Figure Lengend Snippet: Superoxide dismutase (SOD) ( a ), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) ( b ) and malondialdehyde (MDA) ( c ) after treatment with BA (50 µM), Qe (50 µM), PQ (400 µM) and their combination in SH-SY5Y cells. Values represent mean ± SD of at least three experiments. * p < 0.05 compared to the control; # p < 0.05 compared to the PQ. PQ: Paraquat, Qe: Quercetin, BA: Boric acid

Article Snippet: Cells were seeded at 1 × 106 cells/well in 6-well plates and treated with PQ (400 μM), BA (50 μM), Qe (50 μM), or combinations for 48 h. GPx activity was measured using the Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kit (E-BC-K809-M, Elabscience) at 340 nm according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Techniques: Control
