Figure 2 QXT inhibited ROS generation in OVA-challenged mice. (A) ROS levels in the lung tissue were determined using DCFH-DA and measured on a microplate reader (n=8). (B, C) SOD and TAOC serum levels in each group were determined. The SOD level was measured at 450 nm and the TAOC level was measured at 520 nm (n=8). Data are shown as the mean±standard, * P<0.05, ** P<0.01.
