Effect of AZC on the expression of caspase 3 in the hydrogen peroxide induced SH-SY5Y cell toxicity was detected by Western blotting. (a) Representative Western blot showing the levels of total caspase 3. (b) Relative density of total caspase 3. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. aaap < 0.001; compared to naïve control, **p< 0.01; compared to SH-SY5Y cells treated with hydrogen peroxide, and which had received the vehicle. H2O2: hydrogen peroxide at dose of 200 µM; AZC low dose and AZC high dose: the anthocyanin-rich extract derived from Zea mays L. var. ceratina at doses of 62.5 and 125 µg/mL, respectively
