Normal (GSD) but not zero (Z-GSD) guarana soft drink intake increases apoptosis and compromises cell viability in blood cells. (a) Dot plots showing the apoptosis ratios from the control, GSD, and Z-GSD groups (n = 5). (b) The apoptosis and cell viability ratios were determined using propidium iodide (PI) and FITC-annexin V. The Q2 + Q4 quadrants represent the cells that are in apoptosis. Note the remarkable decrease in the number of apoptotic cells (Q2 + Q4) in the Z-GSD group. Values are presented as the mean ± SEM. ^∗p < 0.05 vs. the control group and ^#p < 0.05 vs. the GSD group (one-way ANOVA).
