Effect of Novel Marine Nutraceuticals on IL-1α-Mediated TNF-α Release from UVB-Irradiated Human Melanocyte-Derived Cells

Figure 2

The effect of α-tocopherol, CO2-SFE mussel oil, and 5β-scymnol on the viability of (a) HEM and (b) MM96L cell cultures at 24 h after-UV irradiation. The cells were incubated with the relevant test compounds for 24 h prior to UVB exposure (2 kJ/m2). After UVB exposure, the cells were incubated for 24 h with the appropriate test compounds before cell viability was determined using trypan blue solution. Results expressed as the means ± SD of triplicate samples. Comparisons were made between sham-irradiated control and UV-irradiated cultures using Student’s paired t-test where significance was recorded as (*).
