The Effects of Freshwater Clam (Corbicula fluminea) Extract on Activated Hepatic Stellate Cells

Figure 1

CE inhibits cell growth of aHSCs. aHSCs were incubated with clam extract (CE; 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/ml) for 1, 3, and 5 days. The cell viability was determined by the MTT assay. The data are shown as the mean ± SD obtained from three independent experiments using isolated different batches of aHSCs. ^∗∗P < 0.05, compared with 0 mg/ml CE.
