Various anti-oxidative properties by CQC. In cell free system, CQC displayed potent antioxidant activity to inhibit Cu2+-induced oxidation of human LDL (a) and scavenge DPPH free radical (b). In cultured HUVECs, CQC minimized not only the loss of cell viability induced by oxidative stress but also the ROS-induced impairment of endothelium-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine in rat aorta (c).
