Fig 4. The antioxidant potential in blood plasma.

Fig 4

Chicken blood plasma was collected after cold plasma treatment, and the antioxidant potential (AOP) was measured by means of assessing the total ascorbic acid equivalents that have not been oxidized by the sample. (A) A experimental scheme is shown for investigating the blood plasma of chicken embryos that were treated with the kINPen MED. (B) AOP of blood plasma collected after treatment with 0.9% NaCl solution, UV-A, or kINPen plasma (10 min). UV-A treatment differed significantly (p<0.05) from NaCl controls whereas AOP in blood plasma 10 min (p = 0.62) or 60 min (p = 0.40) after exposure to the cold physical plasma of the kINPen MED did not (mean +S.D.).
