From: Equine estrogens differentially inhibit DNA fragmentation induced by glutamate in neuronal cells by modulation of regulatory proteins involved in programmed cell death

Figure 8

Effect of various concentrations of 17β-estradiol on Bcl-2 and Bax protein levels in HT22 cells treated with 5 mM glutamate for 18 h. Western blots are shown on the upper right hand corner and the bars depict densitometry analysis. Note that the glutamate-induced changes (cell death) in Bcl-2 and Bax are reversed in the presence of 17β-estradiol. a = P < 0.05 vs untreated control cells. b = P < 0.05 vs glutamate alone treated cells.
