Total content of flavan-3-ols (mg/mL) determined
in the supernatant
after the interaction assays, obtained by HPLC-DAD-MS quantification,
evaluating the effect of the mannoproteins F (MPF) and L (MPL) on
the different systems: control condition without oral cells with flavan-3-ols
(GSE), salivary proteins with flavan-3-ols (S+GSE), oral cells with
flavan-3-ols (C+GSE), and oral cells with salivary proteins and flavan-3-ols
(C+S+GSE). Different Roman letters indicate statistical differences
(p < 0.05) among samples in the four systems (GSE,
S+GSE, C+GSE, and C+S+GSE) while different Greek letters indicate
statistical differences (p < 0.05) among samples
in the different treatments (PBS, MPF, and MPL).
