Figure 2. Cytocidal effects of distilled water on HGC-27 cells.

(A) The number of viable HGC-27 cells was counted 48 h after 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10 min exposure to distilled water. Data were represented as mean ± SEM (n=3). The cells suspended in the isotonic NaCl solution were used as a sample without hypotonic stimulation (0 min). (B) Representative pictures of cultured HGC-27 cells 48 h after 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10 min exposure to distilled water.
