<div>The effect of both aqueous (a) and ethanol (b) extracts of A. carambola on cleaved caspase 3 expression. Cleaved caspase 3 expression was increased when cells were treated with UVB (200 mJ/cm2). After UVB stimulation, cells were treated with extracts for 24 h. Both extracts of A. carambola could significantly decrease cleaved caspase 3 expression.</div>
