Figure 5From: Protection of cortical cells by equine estrogens against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity is mediated through a calcium independent mechanismEffect of MK-801 and L-NAME on glutamate-induced cell death. Neuronal cells were maintained for 7 days in conditions similar to those described under Figure 1. Cells were treated with either 0.1 μM MK-801 or 10 mM L-NAME. After 15 mins cells were then treated with 200 μM glutamate. Results are expressed as percent of control. a. p < 0.05 compared to control. b. p < 0.05 compared to glutamate alone treatment. Each bar represents a mean of 8 replicates. Error bars represent SEM.Back to article page
