Study of the Effects of Betaine and/or C-Phycocyanin on the Growth of Lung Cancer A549 Cells In Vitro and In Vivo

Figure 1

Decrease of cell viability following treatment with betaine and C-PC. Viability of A549 cells following treatment with 0%, 0.01%, 0.1%, 1%, and 4% betaine and 0 μg⋅L⁻¹, 20 μg⋅L⁻¹, or 40 μg⋅L⁻¹ of C-PC. Cell viability was measured using MTT assay after 48 h treatment. Mean ± standard deviation. ; n.s stands for not statistically significant. Statistical significance between groups was assessed by the paired Student’s -test ().
