Apoptotic activity of honeys on AGS cell lines. Cells were treated with different concentrations of honeys (0.25% to 5%) for 24 hours. Acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) method was used and apoptotic and live cells were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy. Data presented were mean ± SD (n = 3). According to the control, significant differences are indicated by *P < .05, **P < .01, and ***P < .001. Significant differences between Ida Mountains Quercus pyrenaica honeydew honey (QPHH-IM) and Canakkale multifloral honey (MFH-C) are indicated by “a.”
