Antioxidant Activity of Lawsonia inermis Extracts Inhibits Chromium(VI)-Induced Cellular and DNA Toxicity
Figure 6
Animated hypothetical diagram representing the mode of action of L. inermis extracts against Cr(VI)-induced cytotoxicity. (a) Cr(VI) cross-links DNA and causes oxidative damage to DNA and lipids, consequently leading to cell death. (b) L. inermis extracts provide a barrier against Cr(VI) toxicity cascade by virtue of antioxidant efficacies, thereby ensuring cell viability.
