Effect of Pseudevernia furfuracea extract (PSE) and Physodic acid (Phy) on MCF-10A, BJ-5ta and HUVEC cells’ viability. MCF-10A (A) and BJ-5ta (B) cells were treated with various concentrations of PSE and Phy (10–100 μg/mol) for 72 h. HUVECs were treated with the same range of concentrations of tested compounds in the absence (C) or presence (D) of VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor) (25 ng/mL) for 48 h. Values represent the mean ± standard deviation. (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 compared to control; ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 compared to VEGF based on Student´s t-test).
