Effect of ultrasound pretreatment on the DH and antioxidant properties of oat protein hydrolysate. The different letters (a, b, c) represent significant differences in DH and activity among groups (p < 0.05).

Effect of OPH on cell viability and LDH release in H2O2 -damaged PC12 cells. (A) sample cytotoxicity n = 3; (B) cell viability with sample and H2O2 n = 3; (C) LDH release, n = 3; (D) Hoechst 33,252 staining under an inverted microscope. Different letters (a, b, c, d, e) represent significant differences among groups (p < 0.05). (− and + in the graph represent the absence and presence of OPH or H2O2 in treatments).

Effect of OPH on the levels of ROS, CAT, GSH-px and SOD in PC12 cells. (A) Reactive oxygen species (ROS); (B) catalase (CAT) activity, n = 3; (C) glutathione (GSH-px), n = 3; (D) superoxide dismutase (SOD); n = 3. Different letters (a, b, c, d) represent significant differences among groups (p < 0.05). (− and + in the graph represent the absence and presence of OPH or H2O2 in treatments).

Effect of OPH on Nrf2/Keap1/HO-1 mRNA expression in H2O2-damaged PC12 cells. (A) Nrf2, (B) Keap1 and (C) HO-1 expression levels, n = 3. Different letters (a, b) represent the significant differences among groups (p < 0.05).

Behavior of zebrafish in T-maze testing.

Effects of HL-8, RW-9, and DF-10 peptides on levels of acetylcholinesterase and oxidative stress in the brains of scopolamine-exposed zebrafish. (A) AChE, (B) MDA, (C) GSH, (D) T-AOC; n = 3. The data are presented as the mean ± S.D., and different letters (a, b, c, d, e) indicate significant differences among groups (p < 0.05).

Effects of HL-8, RW-9, and DF-10 peptides on the inflammatory cytokines in the brains of Scopolamine-induced Zebrafish. (A) TNF-α, (B) IL-6, (C) IL-1β, n = 4. The data are presented mean ± S.D and different letters “a, b, c, d, e” among groups represents a significant difference (p < 0.05).

Effects of HL-8, RW-9, and DF-10 peptides on the Nrf2, Bdnf, and Erg1 gene expression zebrafish brains.

Correlation analysis of behavioral, genetic, and biochemical parameters. In the graph (*, **, and ***) represents the moderate, strong, and very strong correlation between different parameters, respectively.
