Protective effect of A. aculeata extracts in human erythrocytes. (a) Hemolytic effect in human erythrocytes incubated with Aa extracts after 240 min of incubation; no hemolytic effect was observed in EA-Aa, while higher concentrations (500 –1,000 μg·mL-1) of the other Aa extracts and the positive control AA showed hemolysis at the higher concentrations. (b) Antihemolytic effect of erythrocytes incubated with Aa extracts and AAPH (50 mM) after 240 min shows a protective effect of EA-Aa (500–1,000 μg·mL-1) against AAPH-induced hemolysis. (c) MDA produced from AAPH-induced lipid peroxidation shows higher protection against lipid peroxidation in the highest concentrations (500–1,000 μg·mL-1) of EA-Aa. vs. Ctrl in (a); #vs. Ctrl and vs. AAPH in (b) and (c); ; ; .
