Protective Effect of Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate in Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Oxidative Damage in Chicken Lymphocytes

Figure 6

Effect of EGCG on cell apoptosis. Lymphocytes () were treated with EGCG (0, 22.5, 45, and 90 μM) for 6 h first and then cultured in media with (model) or without (normal control) H2O2 (80 μM) for an additional 4 h. Apoptotic cells (annexin V+/PI-) were discriminated with FCM analysis. (a) Flow cytometric gating percentage; (b) H2O2 + EGCG 90 μM group; (c) H2O2 + EGCG 45 μM group; (d) H2O2 + EGCG 22.5 μM group; (e) H2O2 (model) group; (f) normal control group; (g) the ratio of apoptotic cells to the total number of cells in the indicated groups. Values are expressed as (). Bars with different letters are significantly different ( or ).
