Protective Effect of Eecdysterone on the PC12 Cell CytotoxicityInduced by beta-amyloid 25-35

Objective. To study the effect of ecdysterone (ECR) on beta - amyloid peptide fragment 25-35 ( Aβ25-35 )-induced PC12 cell cytotoxicity, and further to expore its mechanism. Methods: PC12 survial was monitored by LDH release and 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-yl-2, 5-diphenyhetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays. The content of malondi-
