Figure 4

Detection of caspase 3 and 7 activity after MDA-MB-231 (18.2 μg/ml) and LoVo (25 μg/ml) cells treatment with FHRH extract for 48h. Caspase-3/7 activities were assayed by the CellEvent™ caspase-3′7 green detection reagent. FH: Ferula hermonis, R: root, H: hexane. (P< 0.05, P< 0.01, and P< 0.001 compared with the control (untreated cells)). Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments carried out in duplicate.
