Effects of doxycycline hyclate (Dx) on cell viability. (a) RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with various doses of Dx (10, 30, 100, and 300 μg/mL) for 24 h. (b) Representative photomicrographs showing cells in cultured medium (control group) and 300 μg/mL Dx added to the medium (phase-contrast microscopy, ). The results are presented as the percentage absorbance of the control group. The data are expressed in the graphics as a mean and standard deviation. Statistical difference compared to control cells (Student-Newman-Keuls test, ).
