Effect of lycorine on AAPH induced MDA alteration in the human erythrocytes. Erythrocyte suspension was incubated with PBS (control) or pre incubated with lycorine at different concentrations for 30 min. The product was then incubated with 25 mM AAPH for 20, 40, and 60 min at 37 °C. Values are expressed as the mean ± ± SEM three experiments.
