Negundoside, an iridiod glycoside from leaves of Vitex negundo, protects human liver cells against calcium-mediated toxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride

Figure 15 Effect of NG and silymarin against CCl₄-induced cPLA2 levels. Pre-incubated, (1 h with mentioned concentrations of NG and silymarin) HuH-7 cells were exposed to 2 mmol/L CCl₄ for 24 h. cPLA2 levels were determined as described in Materials and Methods. Bee venom (1 &mgr;g) was used as positive control. Data are expressed as mean ± SD and are from representative experiments repeated twice and conducted in triplicate. Statistical significance: ^bP < 0.001 vs the untreated control; ^dP < 0.01; ^fP < 0.001 vs CCl₄-treated cells.
