Abstract:The UV irradiation causes the generation of reactive oxygen species in the skin that mediate oxidative damage, favoring photoaging and skin cancer. Photoaging can be mitigated with the use of plants with antioxidant capacity. This study sought to evaluate the photoprotection capacity of two extracts of Guazuma ulmifolia Lam., aqueous (G1) and acetonic (G2), on UV-A and UV-B irradiated L-929 cells, besides the wound healing capacity. In the antioxidant evaluation, it was found that the extracts have great antio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
