Antioxidant activities (A) and DNA protection activity at 1mg/ml (B) of hydroponically (HyL) and soil grown (SoL) lettuce. Values expressed as means (n = 3) ± SD with *p < 0.05 in comparison with positive control representing “a”, SoL 1 mg/ml representing “b”, SoL 0.5 mg/ml representing “c” and SoL 0.25 mg/ml representing “d” with all respective concentrations of HyL and controls. [Lane# L = DNA ladder (1Kb), P = pBR322 plasmid, X = pBR322 plasmid treated with FeSO4 and H2O2 (control), 1 = pBR322 plasmid + 1 mg/ml of hydroponically grown lettuce; control for the pro-oxidant effect of the extract on DNA, 2 = plasmid + 1 mg/ml of hydroponically grown lettuce + FeSO4 + H2O2, 3 = pBR322 plasmid + 1 mg/ml of soil grown lettuce; control for the pro-oxidant effect on DNA, 4 = plasmid + 1 mg/ml of soil grown lettuce + FeSO4 + H2O2, 5 = plasmid + 1 mg/ml of Vitamin E + FeSO4 + H2O2]
