Figure 2.

Total antioxidant activity in jellyfish extracted with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), 80% methanol and 80% ethanol from freeze-dried tissues of Aurelia sp.1, C. tuberculata and R. pulmo. Antioxidant activity is expressed as nmol of Trolox eq. (TE) per gram of dry weight or as nmol TE per mg of proteins (inset). Data are the mean of three independent experiments performed in triplicate, bars represent mean ± standard deviation. A,B,C: different capital letters indicate differences among species for the same extraction type; a,b,c: the different lower case letters indicate significant differences among extracts in the same jellyfish species, (p < 0.05).
