Competitive effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (10 nM) versus EGCG (50 µg/ml) on the SOD and GPx activities in HeLa cell line after 24 hr
S. No. | SOD | GPx |
---|---|---|
Hela | 40.87 ±0.91 | 40.76 ±1.60 |
Hela + H2O2 | 19.35 ±1.139 (–52.57 %) |
17.04 ±1.47 (–58.19 %) |
Hela + H2O2 +EGCG | 45.58 ±1.28 (+135.55 %) |
54.79 ±1.37 (+221.53 %) |
Values are expressed as Mean ± SEM of 5 experiments; the value in parentheses shows the percentage decrease and increase with respect to the control. The level of significance was p < 0.05
