Fig. 1. Red wines repressed cell growth of human breast cancer line, MCF-7.

Fig. 1.

(A): MCF-7 cells were treated with different amounts of ethanol, red wines #1 (mature wine), #2 (young wine) or #3 (mature wine) for 6 days. The concentrations of the three red wines are equal to ethanol (mM/L) as indicated. The pictures were taken under microscope (Nikon, Eclipse, TE300). Original magnification × 100. (B): the viability and total cell numbers were counted after plated cells 6 days. The cells were treated serially by ethanol, red wine #1, #2 and #3 from left to right as indicated above. The results indicate that ethanol at low concentration increases the cell growth, while red wines dramatically decrease the rate of cell growth. The bars represent Mean ± SE of at least three independent determinations.
