Table 1. Effect of curcumin on viability of L-6 myoblasts exposed to cumene hydroperoxide (CHP).
CHP | Curcumin (µM) | Viable Cells (%) |
- | 0 | 100 (±3) |
+ | 0 | 22 (±4) |
+ | 1 | 52 (±5) |
+ | 5 | 93 (±4) |
After a 30 min treatment of cells with different concentrations of curcumin (0, 1 and 5.0 µM) the cells were induced with 5 µl (1∶100) CHP. Viability was measured by the MTT assay.
