Momordica charantia (Indian and Chinese Bitter Melon) Extracts Inducing Apoptosis in Human Lung Cancer Cell Line A549 via ROS-Mediated Mitochodria Injury

Figure 3

The effect of crude extracts on caspase-3/7 activity (fold increase) from treated A549 cells. The level of caspase-3/7 release was determined using the EnSpire Multimode Plate Reader, PerkinElmer, at the emission and an excitation wavelength of 499/521 nm. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, <0.05, compared with control, and <0.05 compared with cisplatin.
