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

Figure 6

Caffeic acid, its derivatives, and apocynin (apo) as inhibitors of the production of superoxide anion by stimulated PBMC. Lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence elicited by opsonised zymosan-activated PBMC. The results are mean and SEM of duplicates of three different experiments. Different letters denotes significant difference. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison test ().
