Apoptosis study of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells exposed to FAA extract at IC25, IC50, and IC75 values. The distribution of live cells and cells undergoing early apoptosis, late apoptosis, and necrosis was determined in (a) MCF7 and (b) MDA-MB-231 cells following treatment with FAA for 24, 48, and 72 h in comparison to the respective control, using Annexin-V-FITC and propidium iodide flow cytometric analysis. The values are presented as mean ± standard error of mean of three determinations.
