Figure 4.
The viability of pancreatic beta cells (RIN-m5F) in vitro. The viability of beta cells (RIN-m5F) was measured after 48 or 72 hours of incubation with either STZ (2 mM), CS extract (10 μg/mL), or combined combination of STZ (2 mM) with CS extract (10 μg/mL). Each value represents the mean ± SE of three replicate experiments and expressed as population growth. *P < 0.05 differed from saline control. # P < 0.05 differed significantly from STZ treatment alone.
