Fig 6. Effects of anti-oxidants on the UVB-induced secretion of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1α.
Each of the 4 anti-oxidants were added at the indicated concentrations to HaCaT cells in culture immediately after UVB irradiation at a dose of 80 mJ/cm2 and after 72 h, the secretion levels of IL-1αwere measured by ELISA. A: treated with ubiquinol10; B: treated with AX; C: treated with FMN; D: treated with RF. AX: Astaxanthin, FMN: Flavin Mononucleotide, RF: Riboflavin, n = 3, **: p<0.01, *: p<0.05.
