Figure 3
Protective effects of Aurea helianthus extract in human vaginal epithelial cells (HVECs) under stresses. The results indicate expression levels of the three stress markers in the HVECs under oxidative (H2O2) and fungal stress (protease). Panels (a) and (b) show the distribution of the three markers in the HVECs under the stressed conditions, and panel (c) shows the histograms based on the geometrical means of the three markers in the HVECs (p < 0.05).
