Statistical analysis of lipid peroxidation biomarkers (4HNE) and antioxidants (SOD activity and GSH content) in melatonin-treated HepG2 cells and control using ELISA assay.
| Biomarker | Melatonin/HepG2 group | Control group | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4-HNE (μg/1×106 cells) | 13.71 ± 0.51 | 5.37 ± 0.44 | <0.001∗ |
| SOD (U/mg protein) | 1.84 ± 0.04 | 2.85 ± 0.06 | <0.001∗ |
| GSH (nmol/mg protein) | 1.87 ± 0.01 | 3.74 ± 0.14 | <0.001∗ |
P: Probability
∗: significance <0.05.
