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

Figure 9

Effect of EGCG on the relative mRNA expression. 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. RT-qPCR was carried out to quantify mRNA of SOD, HO-1, CAT, GSH-PX, Nrf2, and Trx-1 (a–f) and data were normalized using the 2-ΔΔCT method. Values are expressed as % of the normal control (, ). Bars with different letters are significantly different ( or ).
