Primary microglial cells were treated for 6 h and 24 h with the A53T protein (5 μM) as well as with a reactive oxygen generator (menadione, 10 μM). After treatments, intracellular levels of reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione were measured. The ratio GSH/GSSG was established as a marker of oxidative stress. Results are given as mean ± SEM (n = 4 independent experiments).
