Protective Effects of <i>Lycium barbarum</i> Extracts on UVB-Induced Damage in Human Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells Accompanied by Attenuating ROS and DNA Damage

<div>The effect of <i>L. barbarum</i> extracts on the UVB-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). ARPE-19 cells pretreated with 50 <i>μ</i>g/mL LBA or LBE, respectively, prior to the irradiation of 50 mJ/cm<sup>2</sup> UVB light. Afterward, the changes of MMP (Δ<i>Ψ</i>m) were detected by a fluorescence microscope-based JC-1 staining assay. The wavelengths of emission are 580 nm (red, upper panels) and 530 nm (green, lower panels). Scale bars: 400 <i>μ</i>m.</div>
