Sorrel Extract Reduces Oxidant Production in Airway Epithelial Cells Exposed to Swine Barn Dust Extract In Vitro

Figure 6

Catalase activity is enhanced in NHBE cells exposed to DE. NHBE cells were exposed to media, media+5% DE, NAC, NAC+5% DE, sorrel, and sorrel+5% DE (7 h). After exposure, cells were lysed and protein was extracted. Catalase activity was measured via its reaction rate with hydrogen peroxide. compared to media. Data are presented as the , .
