How to use

In Vitro:

Z-LEHD-FMK (20 μM; pretreated for 30 min) completely protects HCT116 and 293 cells from TRAIL-induced toxicity. Z-LEHD-FMK (20 μM ; 6 h) protects normal human hepatocytes from TRAIL-induced apoptosis.

In Vivo:

Z-LEHD-FMK (0.8 μmol/kg; i.v. for 7 d) protects neurons, glia, myelin, axons, and intracellular organelles in spinal cord injury (SCI) rats.
