Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of curcumin, spanlastics-free, curcumin nanocrystals, and curcumin spanlastics on Caspase 3 activity using Caspase 3 Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) on the IC50 concentration detected by MTT viability test (IC50 = 240.85, 67.7, 47.83, and 37.18 µg/mL µg/mL, respectively, incubation for 48 h). Data were expressed as mean ± SD ( n = 3). a means significant versus the control group and b means significant versus the curcumin group. Control: cancer cell without any treatments. Each group differed significantly from the others at p ≤ 0.05
Article Snippet: Caspase 3 Activity was estimated through Caspase 3 Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric), NBP2-54838-100 Assays, Novus Biologicals LLC, a Bio-Techne Brand, according to manufacturer protocol through HiPo MPP-96 Microplate Photometer and 3D-IW8 Inteliwasher (Biosan).
