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

Table 3

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

Aesculus hippocastanum samples	TPC; (mg gallic acid/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	72.0^b	14.0^b	35.7^b	152.3^b	11.6^b	10.4^a
Leaves in vivo (control)	35.6^a	16.3^b	25.4^c	134.6^b	59.2^c	29.7^b
Seeds in vivo (control)	194.4^c	36.5^c	39.2^b	338.6^c	4.5^d	2.8^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.
