Protective effect of TO extracts and metabolites against UV irradiation (1 h)-induced damage in rat skin slices. (A) Typical electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals of mixtures of DEPMPO-OOH + DEPMPO-OH in the supernatants of post-irradiated skin slices incubated with aqueous DEPMPO (15 mM). SOD, superoxide dismutase (10 U/mL); CAT, catalase (5000 U/mL); NTR, neutral resin subfraction; ●, DEPMPO-OH central lines. (B) Total DEPMPO adducts levels. (C) MDA-TBA levels. Values represent means ± SEM (n = 8). Statistics: * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 vs. TO, #
p < 0.05 vs. EtTO and §
p < 0.01 vs. UV-irradiated untreated slices, by one-way ANOVA (p < 0.01) followed by Newman–Keuls test.
