Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative images (100× total magnification) of SH-SY5Y cells exposed to ( A ) 5-HTP 500 µM, ( B ) 5-HTP 500 µM + H 2 O 2 300 µM, ( C ) 5-HTP 500 µM + CORT 500 µM, and effect of 5-HTP 500 µM, 5-HTP 500 µM + H 2 O 2 300 µM, 5-HTP 500 µM + CORT 500 µM on ( D ) cellular viability and on ( E ) the variation of 5-HTP concentration, in which the baseline represents 5-HTP 500 μM. All the compounds were exposed to the cells for 48 h. Cell viability results represent the mean ± SEM of three independent assays, expressed as the percentage of the vehicle (100%). HPLC results represent the analysis of the mixture of samples from three independent experiments. Statistically significant * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001 and **** p < 0.0001 vs. vehicle. Scale bar: 50 μm.
