Figure 9

Viability of Detroit 550 fibroblasts treated with different subfractions of C. papaya seeds water extract. Viability of Detroit 550 fibroblasts treated with 1 mg/mL (w/v, in the culture medium) of different subfractions obtained from the C. papaya (Cp) extract (see Figure 1) administrated either alone or with 1 mM H2O2 added simultaneously (s) or during 1 h recovery (r) was evaluated by MTT test. One star indicates values significantly different from control untreated fibroblasts ( ). Each value represents the mean ± SE of six independent experiments done in duplicate. For the preparation of subfractions, see Figure 1 and Materials and Methods section.
