Cells (%) | PEF (μg/ml) | Control+ | S.E.M | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 40 | |||
Viable | 15.2d | 16.2d | 27.3c | 36.1b | 46.2a | 40.2ab | 3.2 |
Apoptotic | 52.8a | 54.1a | 48.4b | 43.4bc | 37.1d | 41.1cd | 2.4 |
Dead | 32.1a | 29.8a | 24.3b | 20.7bc | 16.9d | 18.8cd | 2.1 |
The cells were pre-treated with different concentrations of PEF for 24 h, then the media were replaced with a medium containing 5 μM of AFB1 and the cells were incubated for another 48 h
A minimum of 15,000 cells per sample was analysed by flow cytometry
Control+: 10 μM or 1.7 μg/ml gallic acid
Means with different superscripts (a,b,c,d) within a row are significantly different (p < 0.05)
PEF Phenolic-enriched fraction
S.E.M Standard error of the means
