NGF stimulation capacity and anti-oxidant activity of AEAC in Tg2576 mice. a Detection of NGF secretion in Tg2576 mice. NGF concentration was measured in serum of subset groups using an anti-NGF ELISA kit. b The anti-oxidant capacity was determined in serum collected from mice using a lipid peroxidation assay kit that could detect MDA at 0.1 nmole/mg to 20 nmole/mg. c SOD activity of the hippocampus collected from mice using an SOD assay kit. One unit of SOD is defined as the amount of enzyme in 20 μl of sample solution that inhibits the reduction reaction of WST-1 with superoxide anion by 50%. Data represent the means ± SD of three replicates. #, p < 0.05 compared to the Non-Tg group; *, p < 0.05 compared to the Vehicle treated Tg2576 group
