Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester: Consequences of Its Hydrophobicity in the Oxidative Functions and Cytokine Release by Leukocytes

Figure 3

Inhibitory effect of caffeic acid and its derivatives on triene degradation by ROO. (a) Bleaching of triene (eleostearic acid) by ROO and the effect provoked by the addition of C1. (b) Linear relationship between AUC and concentrations of C1. The slopes were calculated from the liner regression curves. (c) Trolox equivalent antioxidant activity (TEAC = slope compound/slope trolox). The results are mean and SEM of triplicate experiments. Different letters denote significant differences. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison test, .
