Figure 2. Effects of ME on chemical-induced cytotoxicity.

Figure 2

(A) Cytotoxic effects of H2O2 on SK-N-SH cells after 24-h incubation. (B) Effects of ME on H2O2-induced cytotoxicity. (C) Cytotoxic effects of PCB-52 on SK-N-SH cells after 24-h incubation. (D) Effects of ME on PCB-52-induced cytotoxicity. SK-N-SH cells were preincubated with ME for 3 h before the treatment of H2O2 and PCB-52 for 24 h. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay and expressed as percentage compared to untreated cells. Data were reported as mean ± SEM (n=10 independent experiments for H2O2). *P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001 compared to untreated control; # P < 0.05, ### P < 0.001 compared to cells treated with corresponding chemicals concentration with no ME preincubation.
