Table 4.

Antioxidant activity measured in the upper (UP) and in the lower (LP) fractions from hydroalcoholic extract of the umbrella (UMB) and oral arms (OA) of C. andromeda. Data are expressed as nmol of Trolox equivalents (TE) per g of dry weight (DW) of lyophilized jellyfish tissue of UMB or OA and as TE per hydroalcoholic extract dry weight (ExDW); values are mean ±standard deviation (n = 6). Superscript lowercase letters indicate significant differences; when data are analyzed by unpaired t-test, two-tail alpha = 0.05.
