Competitive effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (10 nM) versus EGCG (50 µg/ml) on the SOD and GPx activities in cervical cancer biopsy (CCB) cell cultures after 24 hr
S. No. | SOD | GPx |
---|---|---|
CCB | 39.12 ±1.56 | 37.78 ±1.36 |
CCB + H2O2 | 22.34 ±1.31 (–38.54 %) |
16.23 ±0.73 (–57.04 %) |
CCB + H2O2 +EGCG | 48.51 ±1.15 (+ 117 %) |
59.11 ±0.81 (+264.2 %) |
Values are expressed as mean ± SEM of 5 experiments; the values in parentheses show the percentage decrease and increase with respect to the control. The level of significance was p < 0.05
