Cytoprotective effect of short-term pretreatment with proanthocyanidin on human gingival fibroblasts exposed to harsh environmental conditions.

Our previous study showed that exposing mouse fibroblasts to proanthocyanidin (PA) for only 1 min accelerated cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner.
