Protective abilities of LMG against H2O2-induced cytotoxicity in RAW264.7 cells. (a) MTT assay evaluated the cytotoxicity of LMG to RAW264.7 cells. Cells were treated with LMG (at 0, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200  𝜇 g/mL) for 24 h. Results are presented as m e a n s ± S D for 𝑛 = 5 replicates. (b) The protective ability of LMG from H2O2-induced cytotoxicity in RAW264.7 cells. Cells were cotreated with H2O2 (20  𝜇 M) and LMG (0, 25, 50, 100, and 150  𝜇 g/mL) for 24 h. Results are presented as the m e a n s ± S D for 𝑛 = 5 replicates.
