Antioxidative effect of Digestarom DC (D-DC) (A), licorice extract (LIC) (B), oregano essential oil (ORE) (C), grape seed extract (GRS) (D), menthol (MENT) (E), methyl salicylate (MES) (F), oak bark extract (OAK) (G), and the plant powder mix (PLA) (H) in intestinal porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-J2). Cells were exposed to 40 µM 2′, 7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) for 1 h. After subsequent preincubation with the test substances for 1 h, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was induced by stimulation with 0.5 mM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for another 1 h. Relative fluorescence values compared with the H2O2-treated control (SC) (set to 100%) are shown. Each diagram also shows the untreated control (CC) and the effects of the assay control gallic acid. The results represent the mean and SEM of five independent experiments (n = 5). Significant differences are marked by asterisks (*P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001).
