The Protective Effects of Insulin on Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Oxidative Stress in C6 Glial Cells

Insulin appears to play a role in brain physiology, and disturbances of cerebral insulin signalling and glucose homeostasis are implicated in brain pathology. The objective of the present study was to investigate the protective effects of insulin under conditions of oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H_2O_2/TEX>) in C6 glial cells. Insulin at concentration of 10^{-7}/TEX> M could prevent 12 h...
