초록

The ethanol extract from the fruit of Terminalia chebula (Combretaceae) and the hook of Uncaria sinensis (Rubiaceae) exhibited significant inhibitory activity on oxidative stress and the age-dependent shortening of the telomeric DNA length. In the peroxidation model using t-BuOOH, human epidermal keratinocytes-neonatal foreskin (HEK-N/F) cells were treated with the T. chebula and U. sinensis extracts. The results showed a notable enhancing effect on the cell viability of 60.5 ${\pm}$ 3.8 and 65.0 ${\pm}$ 3.0%, respectively, by 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of the extracts. (omitted)
