ROS Scavenging effects of C. papaya and P. guajava in HIV-1 infected cells. A Unstained untreated cells. B ROS generation in cell control (CC). C ROS generation in virus control (VC). D ROS inhibition in HIV-1 infected cells treated with C. papaya leaves extract. E Inhibition of intracellular ROS production in HIV-1 infected but P. guajava leaves extract treated cells. In each FACS image acquisition, fifty thousand cells were examined. The image group is representative of the three independent replicates. F Comparative analysis from the mean of three independent assays for intracellular ROS generation in HIV-1 infected and/or C. papaya and P. guajava leaves extract treated cells. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01
