(A) Synthetic peptide (SP) toxicity in Chang liver cells. (B) Protective effects of SP on acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver damage. Cell viability was measured by MTS assays. Values represent the means ± SD (P<0.05). Bars labeled with different letters indicate significant differences among groups, as determined by Duncan’s multiple-range test. (C) Morphological changes in cells following treatment with APAP alone or APAP + SP. Upper and lower panels show bright field and fluorescence images. Scale bar, 100 µm.
