Fig. 5. Protective effect of FGE against H₂O₂-induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells. The cells were treated with FGE and then stimulated with 400 μM H₂O₂ for 12 h. Fixed cells were stained with Hoechst 33342 and examined by fluorescence microscope (Magnification×400). Apoptotic HepG2 cells are indicated by arrows. (A) The morphology of cell nucleus and (B) analysis of statistical results of apoptotic cells. FGE, ethanol extract of Filipendula glaberrima Nakai; NC, Negative control; Asc, Ascorbic acid.
