Concentrations of malondialdehyde (nmol/mL) after incubation of human erythrocytes with ascorbic acid (standard antioxidant) and ethanolic extracts of propolis from P. droryana (ExEP-P) and A. mellifera (ExEP-A), induced by oxidizing agent AAPH at (A) 120 (B) 180 and (C) 240 min of evaluation. NaCl (0.9%) and 1% ethanol was employed as negative controls. The results are expressed as mean ± SEM (standard error of the mean), n = 3. *Significantly different (p < 0.05) compared to the AAPH control group. With the exception of the negative control, all treatments were incubated with the oxidizing agent AAPH.
