GSH levels and enzyme activities in HuH7 cells co-treated with 10 μM 1,3-DCP and 0.5% E. japonicum and C. coreana Uyeki extracts
| Assay | Group | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,3-DCP alone | +E. Japonicum | +C. coreana Uyeki | |
| GSH (nmol/mg protein) | 6.7 ± 1.4 | 7.5 ± 1.6 | 8.0 ± 2.1 |
| GST (nmol/min/mg protein) | 60.1 ± 17.2 | 63.4 ± 20.4 | 71.2 ± 19.5 |
| SOD (units/mg protein) | 33.9 ± 11.4 | 68.6 ± 21.3† | 66.2 ± 18.2† |
| CAT (units/mg protein) | 2.6 ± 0.5 | 5.2 ± 1.1† | 6.8 ± 1.9† |
1,3-DCP and the extracts were co-treated to HuH7 cells at 37 °C for 2 h. Values represent the means ± S.D. of five independent experiments
†Significant difference at p < 0.05 compared to the 1,3-DCP-treated sample
