Effect of Na₂SO₃ treatment on the TG level of L-02 hepatocytes (n = 3, ${\displaystyle \overline{x}}\pm s$).

Group	TG (mmol g−1)
	24 h	48 h
Negative control	1.2218 ± 0.5272	1.4837 ± 0.1236
0.1 mM Na2SO3	1.2609 ± 0.4914	1.3167 ± 0.2209
0.5 mM Na2SO3	1.5099 ± 0.3047	1.9047 ± 0.5721
2.5 mM Na2SO3	1.8227 ± 0.4524	2.1050 ± 0.3275
10.0 mM Na2SO3	2.4713 ± 0.7691*	6.3060 ± 0.8734*
1.0 mM OA	3.0940 ± 0.7968*	3.0130 ± 0.6844*
10.0 mM CCl4	3.2353 ± 1.1168*	1.8090 ± 0.5705

Cells were treated with Na₂SO₃ (as described in Section 2), the lipids in the cells were extracted with hexane-isopropanol-diethyl ether, and quantified.

^*P < 0.05 when compared to negative control.
