Suppressive Effect of Hydroquinone, a Benzene Metabolite, on In Vitro Inflammatory Responses Mediated by Macrophages, Monocytes, and Lymphocytes
Figure 4
Effects
of hydroquinone on ROS generation in SNP-induced RAW 264.7 cells. (a) Antioxidant
effect of hydroquinone was examined by DPPH assay as described in Section 2. (b)
RAW264.7 cells () were pretreated with various
concentrations of HQ
(hydroquinone) in the presence or absence of SNP (100 M) for 30
minutes. The level of generated ROS was determined by flowcytometric analysis
as described in Section 2 . and represent
significant difference as compared to control.
