Notes: After 12 hours’ incubation. Values are expressed as the means of the difference between optical density at 570 and 690 nm; P-value is shown when the differences are statistically significant with respect to MCF10-A.
Abbreviations: Ag NPs, silver nanoparticles; N/S, nonsignificant; SD, standard deviation.
