Synergistic Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects between Modified Citrus Pectin and Honokiol

Figure 6

Effect of HNK, MCP, and MCP : HNK (9 : 1) on nitric oxide synthesis in RAW 264.7 mouse monocyte cell line. (a) Effect on nitrite concentration in cells treated with increasing concentrations of compounds. No significant difference was noticed among HNK, MCP, and MCP : HNK (9 : 1) treated monocytes. (b) Effect on nitrate concentration in cells treated with increasing concentrations of HNK, MCP, and MCP : HNK (9 : 1). Treatment groups were compared using paired test; < 0.05 for HNK versus MCP and HNK versus MCP : HNK (9 : 1). No significant difference between MCP and MCP : HNK (9 : 1) treatment groups. (c) Effect on nitrite + nitrate concentration in cells treated with increasing concentrations of HNK, MCP, and MCP : HNK (9 : 1). Treatment groups were compared using paired test; for HNK versus MCP and HNK versus MCP : HNK (9 : 1). No significant difference is noticed between MCP and MCP : HNK (9 : 1).
