Effects of betamethasone (Beta; 1 μM), SCA (10 μM) and SCB (10 μM) on glutamate (Glu)-induced neurotoxicity in primary cultures of rat cerebral cortex neurons. Control group was treated with the vehicle (1% DMSO solution). Results are reported as % changes of control values (dotted line). Values represent mean ± SEM. Data are representative of five independent experiments. Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test. **p < 0.01 significantly different from control values; p < 0.05 significantly different from dexamethasone group
