Exploration of pro-oxidant and antioxidant activities of the flavonoid myricetin

Figures & data

Figure 1. Structure of myricetin.

Figure 2. Effects of myricetin on TBARS formation in various systems and variants of the deoxyribose degradation assay; 100% TBARS represents mean formation in the FeCl₃ or FeEDTA variant of the classical ascorbic acid–H₂O₂ system; bars are mean ± SD; N = 3, letters indicate different levels of significance between effects (95% Duncan's multiple range test).

Figure 3. Dose–response curves of TBARS formation depending on the myricetin:Fe ratio in various systems and variants of the deoxyribose degradation assay; 100% TBARS represents mean formation in the FeCl₃ or FeEDTA variant of the classical ascorbic acid–H₂O₂ system; X-axis has logarithmic scaling but values are not transformed.
