Figure 3

DOX-induced hemolysis and MDA content of human erythrocytes incubated for 240 min with AA, GUEsb, or GUEl (1.56–25 μg·mL−1). (a) Hemolysis inhibition at 240 min after adding DOX [300 μg·mL−1]. (b) Malondialdehyde (MDA) content resulting from DOX-induced lipid peroxidation [300 μg·mL−1] after 240 min. The data are expressed as the . , , and compared with the control (erythrocytes incubated with DOX only). AA = ascorbic acid; GUEsb = aqueous extract from G. ulmifolia stem bark; GUEl = aqueous extract from G. ulmifolia leaves.
