Pterostilbene is non-toxic to HT22 neurons.
The anti-oxidative stress effect of pterostilbene on HT22 cells is proposed.
The anti-apoptosis effect of pterostilbene on HT22 cells is proposed.
The mechanism relies on nuclear translocation of Nrf2.
Upregulation of HO-1 and NQO1 is involved in the mechanism.
