The results expressed as mean ± standard deviation. * Statistically significant differences to the negative control group (p < 0.05). NC: negative control group; SC: solvent control group; PC: positive control group; 10, 100, 1000: treatment groups exposed to 10 µg/L, 100 µg/L and 1000 µg/L of FLX, respectively.
