Schematic overview of the protective effects of the Bucida buceras on ARPE-19 cells. Co-treatment of ARPE-19 cells with antioxidant extract for 24 h protected cells against the toxicity of peroxide. H2O2 can cause oxidative stress in ARPE-19 cells as indicated by a depletion of GSH, GPx, Reducing power; Bucida buceras could restore GSH depletion, by enhancing the activity of glutathione peroxidase and catalase. In addition, it could also reduce H2O2-induce DNA damage by increase mitochondrial activity, and FRAP. The “+” and“-” signs indicate an increase or decrease, respectively in enzymatic activity or biochemical molecule content
