Figure 1

Effects of TL extract on cell viability and cell death. Bar chart indicates the percent of cell viability of LX-2 cells treated with TL extract (0–10 mg/mL) for 24 h and cell viability was measured by MTT assay (a). Cell death was measured by trypan blue exclusion test of cells treated with different concentrations of TL extract (b) and at different time points of cells treated with TL at 0.5 mg/mL (c). indicates statistical significance from untreated group. indicates statistical significance from time point 0 of 0.5 mg/mL TL extract.
