Effects of Hexane Root Extract of Ferula hermonis Boiss. on Human Breast and Colon Cancer Cells: An In Vitro and In Vivo Study

Figure 1

The effect of FHRH extracts in MDA-MB-231 and LoVo cells using MTT and LDH assays. (a) The absorbance of the MTT formazan was determined at 540 nm in an ELISA reader. (b) MDA-MB-231 (18.2 μg/ml) and LoVo (25 μg/ml) cells were treated with the FHRH extract for 48 h. LDH activity was determined at 490 nm in an ELISA reader. Data represent the mean ±SD (P< 0.05, P< 0.01, and P< 0.001 were considered significant compared to control) of three independent experiments carried out in triplicate. FH: Ferula hermonis, R: root, H: hexane.
