The Effect of Leonurus sibiricus Plant Extracts on Stimulating Repair and Protective Activity against Oxidative DNA Damage in CHO Cells and Content of Phenolic Compounds

Figure 3

The protective effect on CHO cells treatment 0.05 mg/mL (a), 0.1 mg/mL (b), and 0.5 mg/mL (c) of L. sibiricus AP, R in vitro plant and AP, R in vivo plant extracts after 24 h preincubation. DNA damage (strand breakage) was induced or not by H2O2 at a concentration of 75 μM at 4°C and measured as a percentage in the tail DNA in the alkaline comet assay. by comparing AP in vitro plant with AP in vivo plant extract and R in vitro plant with R in vivo plant extracts at the appropriate time of incubation. The number of cells scored for each individual was 100. Data is expressed as means ± SE of at least three independent experiments.
