OxLDL-Induced Foam Cell Formation Inhibitory Activity of Pepsin Hydrolysate of Ark Shell (Scapharca subcrenata (Lischke, 1869)) in RAW264.7 Macrophages

Figure 1

(a) Cell viability and (b) inhibition of foam cell formation of 1–3 mg/mL of ark shell-Alcalase® hydrolysates (ASAH) and ark shell-pepsin hydrolysates (ASPH) quantitatively, and (c) qualitatively in oxLDL-induced RAW264.7 murine macrophages. The macrophages were treated with ASAH (1–3 mg/mL) or ASPH (1–3 mg/mL) for 1 h and the MTT assay was performed to determine the cell viability. The experiments were conducted as three independent determinations (n = 3) with ±S.D., and error bars with different letters are significantly different ().
