The objective of the present study was to investigate the protective and free radical scavenging effects of conventionally and organically cultivated kale juices against oxidative damage in LLC-PK1 cells. The DPPH, NO, O2 -, and ·OH radical scavenging activities of organically cultivated kale were higher than those of conventionally cultivated kale juice. Oxidative damage induced by AAPH (2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride), SNP (sodium nitroprusside), pyrogallol, and SIN-1

These results suggest that organically cultivated kale juices have protective roles against oxidative stress induced by free radicals.
