 Effect of apple polyphenol extracts (APE) or APE followed by xanthine-xanthine oxidase (X-XO) on endocellular concentrations of the main apple phenolic compounds

APE (10−4 M)APE (10−4 M), X (1 mM)-XO (50 mU/ml)
Cells were incubated with APE (10−4 M) for three hours and then with serum free medium or X (1 mM)-XO (50 mU/ml) for two hours.
Mean (SD) from three separate experiments run in duplicate.
