Protective effects of FA against H₂O₂‐induced cytotoxicity in ARPE‐19 cells. A, The effect of FA on the cell viability of ARPE‐19 cells detected by MTT assay; ARPE‐19 cells were pre‐treated with different concentration of FA (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 and 10 mM) for 24 h. B, The effect of FA pre‐treatment on the cell viability of H₂O₂‐induced human ARPE‐19 cells detected by MTT assay; ARPE‐19 cells were pre‐treated with different concentration of FA (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 and 5mM) for 24 h and then treated with H₂O₂ (300 μM) for 4 h. C, The effect of FA pre‐treatment on the cell death of H₂O₂‐induced human ARPE‐19 cells detected by LDH assay. ARPE‐19 cells were pre‐treated with different concentration of FA (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 and 5mM) for 24 h and then treated with H₂O₂ (300 μM) for 4 h. Each column presented means ± SD (n = 3). ^** P < .01 vs normal control group. ^# P < .05, ^## P < .01 vs H₂O₂‐treated group
