Sorrel Extract Reduces Oxidant Production in Airway Epithelial Cells Exposed to Swine Barn Dust Extract In Vitro

Figure 7

Pretreatment with sorrel attenuates 8-isoprostane release by NHBE cells exposed to DE. Pretreatment of NHBE cell cultures with 20 mM NAC (a) or 1% sorrel (b) limited plasma membrane damage—as measured by diminished 8-isoprostane release—following 5% DE exposure for 7 hours. value < 0.01 compared to media+DE. value < 0.001 vs. media.
