Cytotoxicity of the milk thistle-based dietary supplements and the model mixtures. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by the Duncan´s post hoc analysis expressing the differences between the groups. Similar or sharing letters within one concentration (e.g., a and ab) show that there are no significant differences in cell viability of HEK 293T cells treated with milk thistle-based dietary supplements and the model mixtures. Different letters (e.g., a and b) show the statistical difference (p ≤ 0.05) between milk thistle-based dietary supplements and the model mixtures within the tested concentration.
