Curcumin Protects Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells against H2O2-Induced Cell Injury
Figure 1
Cell viability of HUVECs treated with curcumin and H2O2. (a) Treatment with H2O2 (0 μM, 25 μM, 50 μM, and 75 μM) for 12 h had no effect on cell viability of HUVECs, while H2O2 (100 μM) decreased cell viability which was tested by the CCK-8 assay. versus the control group. (b) HUVECs treated with curcumin (0 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM, 30 μM, 40 μM, and 50 μM) for 12 h showed no change of cell vitality. The cell vitality after H2O2 (100 μM) treatment increased after curcumin (40 μM and 50 μM) administration compared with curcumin (0 μM). (n = 3).
