(a) Morphologies of HUVACs in negative control and Mg extract with10 and 50% dilution (from left to right) for 24 h. The cells were fixed and stained for cytoskeleton (Pholloidin: green) and nuclei (DRAQ5: purple). (b) HUVEC viability shown as the percentage of viable cells in the control after 1, 3 and 5 days of culture in the diluted extracts. (c) Proliferation ratio of HUVECs cultured in diluted Mg extracts for 1, 2, 3 days as compared to negative control.
