Figure Lengend Snippet: Cell viability to evaluate the effects of five different compounds (100 μM of tamoxifen, aspirin, sofosbuvir, and PFOA, 200 μM of celecoxib) on DECs (A) and AECs (B) in 2D 96-well plate experiments after 48 h of exposure. 100 μM of tetraoctylammonium bromide (TAB) served as the positive control, cell-specific culture medium as the negative control, and 0.5% DMSO as the vehicle control. Values are presented as a boxplot (median, interquartile range, max-min), and statistical analysis (compared to negative control) was conducted using the Mann–Whitney U test and Student’s t -test, with statistical significance indicated as * p < 0.05 ( n = 9 for controls, n = 6 for test compounds).
Article Snippet: Specifically, aspirin D4 at 5 μM (18243, Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, USA), celecoxib D7 at 1 μM (18248, Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, USA), sofosbuvir D6 at 2 μM (HY-15005S1, MedChem Express, Monmouth Junction, USA), repaglinide (tamoxifen) at 1 μM (R9028-50MG, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA), and C13 PFOA at 1 μM (MPFOA, Wellington Laboratories, Canada) were used.
