title: [Protective effect of tannic acid against TPA- and cigarette smoke condensate-induced DNA strand breaks in human white cells and its antioxidant action].
abstract: Tannic acid was extracted from Rhus chinensis Mill. At a concentration of 50 micrograms/ml it could significantly prevent the DNA damaging effects induced by TPA (100 ng/ml) or cigarette smoke condensate (400 micrograms/ml). At concentrations of 5 micrograms/ml and 80 micrograms/ml, it could effectively scavenge the O2-. produced by VB2 + hv and cigarette smoke condensate, respectively. The lipid peroxidation of red cell membrane induced by H2O2 was decreased significantly by tannic acid at a concentration of 5 micrograms/ml.
