Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activities in Extracts from Minke Whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) Blubber
Figure 2
Antioxidative capacity in the extracts. CWO-1, CWO-2, and CLO which were sequentially extracted using EtOAc, BuOH, and water. The results are shown as Trolox equivalents (μmol TE/100 g). (a) ORAC assay with extract concentrations of 0.1 mg/ml. (b) FRAP assay with extract concentrations of 10 mg/ml. CWO = cold-pressed whale oil; CLO = cod liver oil; EtOAc = ethyl acetate; BuOH = butyl alcohol; ORAC = oxygen radical absorbance capacity; FRAP = ferric reducing antioxidant power.
