Figure 1: In vitro treatment of human skin samples with pA inhibits UVB-induced depletion of catalase (CAT) activity. Skin samples were exposed thirty minutes to UVB with or without pretreatment with pA (12%). Non-UVB-exposed skin “n-UVB-” (negative control, C); non- UVB- exposed skin plus pA “n-UVB+” (Group G1); UVB-exposed skin “UVB-“(positive control, Group G2); and UVB-exposed skin plus pA “UVB+” (Group G3). Results are expressed as U/mg protein and reported as the means ± SD from six independent experiments. * p<0.01.
