Cell population (%)	Control	STS 12 µM	STS 24 µM
G1	45.3 ± 9.77	57.4 ± 2.89***	56.2 ± 2.23***
S	20.2 ± 3.74	17.0 ± 1.51***	16.4 ± 0.78***

Representative DNA fluorescence of propidium iodide (PI)-stained cells after treatment with STS (12, 24 µM) for 24 h. The data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 9 per group). Statistical significance from the one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s post hoc test: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, or ***p < 0.001 vs. control group
