Figures & data

Figure 1. Effects of the aqueous extract of Yunzhi and data are expressed as the comet score of DNA damage relative to that in control cells in the SAC assay. Data were obtained in three separate experiments. Lymphocytes in microtubes were separately pre-incubated with five different concentrations (w/v) of Yunzhi extract followed by H2O2 challenge. Signifcant decrease in DNA damage at 104 µg/L concentration was seen (p < 0.05).

Figure 2. Effects of aqueous extract of Yunzhi and data are expressed as the comet score of DNA damage relative to that in control cells in the LCC assay. Lysed lymphocytes embedded in gel were separately pre-incubated with five different concentrations (w/v) of Yunzhi extract followed by H2O2 challenge. The trend of decreased DNA damage was seen but did not reach a signifcant level.
