Assessment of intracellular ROS and H₂O₂ production in BPH-1 cells treated with Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS. The effect of Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS on the production of ROS was evaluated by flow cytometry in BPH-1 cells, either (a) untreated control or (b) Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS exposure for 24 h. (c) A bar graph for intracellular level of ROS (%) in BPH-1 cells, either untreated (BPH) or treated with Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS for 24 h (LPS-BPH). (d) A bar graph for intracellular expression of H₂O₂ in BPH-1 cells, either untreated (BPH) or treated with Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS for 24 h (LPS-BPH). ROS: reactive oxygen species; H₂O₂: hydrogen peroxide. Data are presented as (, and ).
