Effect of UV-B radiation and the formulations on GSH, ASC and TP levels in rat skin
| Groups | Treatments | GSH level (nmoles/min/mg) | ASC (mg/100mL±SEM) | TP (μg/mL ±SEM) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gr I | Control | 35.43±0.28b | 8.11±0.57b | 626±0. 443b |
| Gr II | UV-B Irradiated | 18.25±0. 21a | 3.19±0.35a | 465±0.345a |
| Gr III | UV-B + F4 treated | 26.45±0.51a,b | 7. 21±0.15ab | 592±0.412a,b |
| Gr IV | UV-B + F5 treated | 33.65±0. 44a,b | 7.85±0.10a,b | 630±0.24,b |
a
Significantly different control group I(p<0.01);
b
Significantlly different from group II(p<0.05).
The values are presented as Mean±SEM; each group consisted of 6 albino rats.
