Figure 3.
Effect of Olive Fruit and AB extracts at 80 °C on proliferation of Caco-2 cells. Cells (4 × 103 cells/well) were seeded in the presence of increasing concentrations of extracts and allowed to proliferate for one to seven days. Cell number was then estimated by the determination of neutral red uptake. Data represent the average of six replicates; error bars are not shown for clarity. Symbols (*, †, #) indicate a statistically significant difference between extracts and control for each incubation period (one-way ANOVA Tukey test, p < 0.05).
