The effect of flavonolignans (silychristin, silybin and silydianin in concentrations of 10, 50 and 100 µM) on generation of reactive oxygen species in blood platelets. (A) intracellular ROS production measured as intensity of DCF fluorescence; (B) superoxide anion generation measured as cytochrome C reduction and expressed as a percentage value of the control sample. The data represent means of ± SD, n = 12. Statistical analysis was performed using Tukey’s Range Test, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.001.
