Dichloroacetate Decreases Cell Health and Activates Oxidative Stress Defense Pathways in Rat Alveolar Type II Pneumocytes

Figure 1

Effect of DCA treatment regimes on L2 viability. Cells were exposed to 0, 8, 16, and 24 mM DCA for 6, 16, and 24 hours. Viability was determined by MTT assay with the viability 0 mM DCA treatment for the corresponding exposure time defined as 100%. Bars represent mean ± S.D., = 5-6. denotes a significant difference between data from that condition and those without ().
