Protective Effect of Liposome-Encapsulated Glutathione in a Human Epidermal Model Exposed to a Mustard Gas Analog
Figure 5
Protective effects of GSH-liposomes or free GSH in EpiDerm (posttreatment). EpiDerm tissues were exposed topically to 2.5 mM CEES or vehicle (1% DMSO) in the absence or presence of Blank liposomes (B-liposomes) or GSH-liposomes (as indicated) applied simultaneously with CEES or vehicle, but into the bottom media (sim: simultaneous application; post: 1 hour post-treatment). Final “calculated” concentration of GSH was 10 mM (see Section 2). Cell viability was monitored after 18 hours by the MTS assay (see Section 2). Means not sharing a common letter are significantly different .
