Effect of CVE hot water extract on fibroblasts derived from young and old aged human as assessed by MTS assay. Percent MTS reduction corresponds to the viable cell number. Fibroblasts were incubated with increasing concentrations of CVE for 24 hours at 37oC. Incubation with CVE caused a significant increase in the number of cell viable. The percentage of the viable cell was highest at CVE concentration of 50 ug/ml for fibroblasts from both young and old donors. The number of cell viable decreased with high concentration of CVE incubation. ^a,b Denotes p<0.05 compared to control, ^a*,b* p<0.05 compared to previous concentration for fibroblasts derived from both young and old donors respectively. Data is presented as means ± SD, n = 3.
