Protective effect of L-carnitine against H₂O₂-induced neurotoxicity in neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells

Abstract

Taken together, these results suggest that L-carnitine may function as an anti-oxidant to inhibit H(2)O(2)-induced oxidative stress as well as regulation of Bcl-2 family and prevent the apoptotic death of neuronal cells, which might be beneficial for the treatment of oxidative stress in neurodegenerative diseases.
