The Effect of Standardised Flower Extracts of Sorbus aucuparia L. on Proinflammatory Enzymes, Multiple Oxidants, and Oxidative/Nitrative Damage of Human Plasma Components In Vitro

Figure 3

Effects of S. aucuparia flower extracts on human plasma exposed to oxidative stress: (a) effects on the nitration of plasma proteins and formation of 3-NT; (b, c) effects on the peroxidation of plasma lipids and formation of (b) LOOH and (c) TBARS; (d) effects on NEAC of plasma (measured by FRAP). Results presented as (). Statistical differences: for control plasma versus ONOO^–-treated plasma (without the extracts); , , and for ONOO^–-treated plasma in the presence of the extracts (1, 5, or 50 μg/mL) or standards (5 μg/mL) versus ONOO^–-treated plasma in the absence of the extracts.
