The β-SiC Nanowires (~100 nm) Induce Apoptosis via Oxidative Stress in Mouse Osteoblastic Cell Line MC3T3-E1

Figure 3

Effects of different β-SiC nanowires on oxidative stress in MC3T3-E1 cells. (a) Superoxide level (DHE), (b) MnSOD activity, (c) MDA production, and (d) 8-OHdG level were measured according to the manufacturer’s instructions for each assay. Values are the means ± SD (𝑛=3) of three independent experiments. ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 versus control.
