Inhibition of cell growth and induction of apoptosis by linoleic acid treatment in AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells. (A) After cells were seeded, the cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of linoleic acid for 96 h, and then cell viability was measured by hemocytometer counts of trypan blue-excluding cells. (B) The cells were stained with annexin-V and the percentages of apoptotic cells were then analyzed using flow cytometric analysis. Each point represents the mean±SD of three independent experiments. Significance was determined using Student’s t-test (^*P<0.05 vs. untreated control).
