Comparative Study of Antioxidant Status in Androgenic Embryos of Aesculus hippocastanum and Aesculus flava

Table 1

Total phenolic content, DPPH and NO RSC, FRAP, ^•OH quantity, and lipid peroxidation in A. flava.

Aesculus flava samples	TPC; (mg catechin/100 g)	DPPH RSC (%)	NO RSC (%)	FRAP; (FRAP units)	^•OH; (nmol/mg protein)	LP; (nmol MDA/mg protein)
In vitro androgenic embryos in cotyledonary stage	61.23^a	16.38^a	28.11^a	237.0^a	38.44^a	18.95^a
In vitro androgenic embryos in globular stage	47.70^b	12.71^a	17.11^b	185.4^b	62.39^b	33.83^b
Leaves in vivo (control)	173.8^c	28.95^b	51.38^c	744.3^c	15.36^c	11.68^c

Values in rows marked with different letters (a, b, c, and d) were significantly different according to Duncan 𝑡-test 𝑃<0.05. For each parameter, experiments and measurements were also recorded in triplicate; TPC: total phenol content; RSC: radical scavenging capacity; FRAP: Ferric reducing antioxidant power; LP: lipid peroxidation.
