Effect of AE (A) and NDGA (B) on the production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) by glucose-treated macrophages. Cells were incubated 24 h in presence of glucose: 5.5 mM (basal), 11 mM and 55 mM with or without AE or NDGA. Results are expressed as Mean ± SEM of three or more experiments performed in triplicate. *p < 0.05: significantly different with respect to basal conditions, # p < 0.05, significantly different with respect to each glucose concentration (One way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test)
