Effects of Digestarom DC (D-DC), grape seed extract (GRS), licorice extract (LIC), oak bark extract (OAK), oregano essential oil (ORE), and the plant powder mix (PLA) on gene expression of the antioxidative gene heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) in intestinal porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-J2). Gene expression was analyzed via RT-qPCR. Cells were preincubated with the test substances for 1 h, after which oxidative stress was induced by stimulation of the cells with 0.5 mM H2O2 for 1 h. The untreated cell control (CC) was set to 0 and is not shown in the figure. Cells treated with the test substances were compared with the H2O2-stimulated control, and results are presented as the binary logarithm (log2) of the fold increase. Data represent the mean and SEM of five independent experiments (n = 5). No significant differences were found.
