The functions of extracted pigments from potatoes in H2O2-treated GES-1 cells. (A) The pigments isolated from potatoes were detected by HPLC. There were four significant peaks (i.e., Petunin, Paeonin, Malvidin and Pelargonidin) between 20 min and 26 min. (B) ARE-luciferase activity was examined in H2O2-treated GES-1 cells pre-incubated with the four pigments extracted from potatoes. Compared to the GES-1 and H2O2 groups, ARE-luciferase activity was elevated by the four extracted pigments. The highest ARE-luciferase activity was induced by Paeonin in H2O2-treated GES-1 cells; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 or ***P < 0.001 versus the H2O2 group.
