Curcumin Efficacy in a Serum/Glucose Deprivation-Induced Neuronal PC12 Injury Model

Background: Glucose/serum deprivation (GSD), has been used for understanding molecular mechanisms of neuronal damage during ischemia. It has been suggested that curcumin may improve neurodegenerative diseases. Aim: In this study, the protective effects of curcumin and its underlying mechanisms were investigated in PC12 cells upon GSD-induced stress. Methods: PC12 cells were cultured in DMEM overnight and then incubated in GSD condition for...
