FIG 7.

Glucose affects the cytotoxicity caused by supernatants from BMC107 cultures. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release from Vero cells after treatment with processed (see Materials and Methods) supernatants from 8-h cultures of BMC107 grown in TY supplemented with different glucose concentrations. The experiment was repeated three times, and results shown are the mean values. Error bars represent SEM. An asterisk shows a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) between a sample without glucose supplementation (BMC107-G0) and samples supplemented with different concentrations of glucose. G0, G5, G10, G20, and G40 represent different concentrations of glucose supplementation in TY culture.
