Enhancing effects of ARE (a) and ARE-F (b) on the total SOD activity attenuation in HaCaT keratinocytes under UV-B irradiation. HaCaT cells were subjected to the varying concentrations (0, 5, 20 and 80 μg/mL) of ARE (a) and ARE-F (b) for 1 h before the irradiation. The total SOD activity in the cellular lysates, expressed as a percentage (%) of the corresponding non-irradiated control, was determined using a spectrophotometric assay. ##P < 0.01 versus the non-irradiated control. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 versus the non-treated control (UV-B irradiation alone)
