Fig 3. Differential ratios of n6 and n3 fatty acids regulate the viability of breast cancer and non-cancerous cells.

Fig 3

Breast cancer cell lines, (A) MDA-MB-231 and (B) MCF7 as well as immortalized non-tumorigenic human breast epithelial, MCF10A cells (C) were treated with low and high n6/n3 ratios and analyzed for cell viability by MTT assay. Data has been presented as mean±SEM of five independent experiments, each conducted in triplicates. ƍp<0.01 and *p<0.001 compared to UC; ¥p<0.01 and ¤p<0.001 compared to 1:1; Θp<0.001 compared to 1:2.5; #p<0.05, Λp<0.01 and Øp<0.001 compared to 1:4;ϒp<0.01 and ϙp<0.001 compared to 1:5; βp<0.05, ×p<0.01 and ßp<0.001 compared to 1:10; ∞p<0.01 and Δp<0.001 compared to 2.5:1.
