The ability of nutraceutical treatment to rescue cells from metal-induced metabolic toxicity. Effect of nutraceutical exposure on metabolic viability of J774 and Caco-2 cells. Cells were treated with cobalt (Co) or uranium (U) at 100 μM for 1 h followed by the addition, at 100 μM final concentration, of genistein (GEN), curcumin (CUR), or quercetin (QUE). After a 24 h incubation, metabolic viability was assessed using the MTT assay: (A,B) J774 cells treated with cobalt or uranium, respectively; (C,D) Caco-2 cells treated with cobalt or uranium, respectively. Data are the mean of three independent experiments. Error bars represent standard deviation. An * denotes a result statistically different from control and a # represents a statistically significant difference from the metal-treated cells, as determined by unpaired t-test with significance at p < 0.05.
