Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2 Inhibition effects of DNA synthesis from the EOOO. (0.02–0.2 µg/mL) (A) and CV (7.5–105 µg/mL) (B) on the growth of HepG2 cells after 48 h. The EOOO and CV induced inhibition of DNA syntheses were in a concentration-dependent manner by the method BrdU incorporation assay. All values are expressed as mean ± SD at least three separate experiments performed in quadruplicate. Differences were considered significant compared to the control group from *p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, *** p ≤ 0.001, **** p ≤ 0.0001
Article Snippet: A human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 purchased from DSMZ (Braunschweig, Germany) was cultured in DMEM (Dulbecco Modified Eagle Medium) (Sigma) supplemented with 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum) (PAA Lab. GmbH, Les Mureaux, France), penicillin/ streptomycin at 100 units/ml and 2 mM L-glutamine as adherent monolayers.
