Propofol protects cultured brain cells from iron ion-induced death: comparison with trolox

Effects of H2O2 at rat myenteric neurones in culture

“…Scavenging of this radical by trolox, an antioxidant that protects cells by scavenging the hydroxyl radical and preventing membrane lipid peroxidation (for reference see Boland et al 2000), and by MPG reduced the inhibitory action of the oxidant on Na + currents ( These proteins along with free amino acids amongst which tyrosine, tryptophan, histidine and cysteine neutralize or reduce considerably the oxidative stress induced by H 2 O 2 and are therefore referred to as ROS scavengers (Davies et al 1987a(Davies et al , 1987b). …”

The Effect of Caffeic Acid on Wound Healing in Skin-incised Mice

“…The cells were incubated with caffeic acid for 10 min, and ROS generation was then induced by 1 mg/ml silica for 30 min at 37 o C. The fluorescence intensity was measured using excitation and emission wavelengths of 485 and 535 nm, respectively. (Boland et al, 2000). Values were expressed as percentage of fluorescence in control.…”

Whitening activity of luteolin related to the inhibition of cAMP pathway in α-MSH-stimulated B16 melanoma cells

“…The cells were incubated with luteolin for 10 min, and then ROS generation was induced by 1 mg/mL silica for 30 min at 37 o C. The fluorescence intensity was measured using excitation and emission wavelengths of 485 and 535 nm with fluorospectrophotometer respectively. (Boland et al, 2000). Values were expressed as percentage of fluorescence in control.…”
