Figure 2

Effect of ZnO NPs on cell viability in cultured primary astrocytes. (A) MTT assay. (B) LDH release. Astrocytes were treated with 4, 8, or 12 μg/ml of ZnO NPs for 6, 12, or 24 h, respectively. (C) Inhibitory effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on cell viability reduction. Astrocytes were pretreated for 1 h with 0.05, 0.5, and 5 mM of NAC before 6 h co-exposure with ZnO NPs (12 μg/ml). Data are presented as mean ± SD of the three representative experiments. **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 vs. control. #p < 0.05 vs. ZnO NPs (12 μg/ml).
