For cellular ROS detection, cells were incubated with 10 μM of 2,7-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) (MedChemExpress, NJ, USA) working solution at 37°C for 20 min in darkness. The fluorescence light intensity was measured by using a multifunction microplate reader (Infinite 200 Pro, Tecan, Australia). Cellular glutathione (GSH), oxidative glutathione (GSSG), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and malonaldehyde (MDA) levels were measured by using the corresponding commercial assay kits (Boxbio, Beijing, China), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
