Curcumin and nanocurcumin induced apoptosis of HepG2 hepatic cancer cells. (a) EB/AO staining of HepG2 cells (1 = control, 2 = AC, 3 = AC + Cur, 4 = AC + NCur, 5 = Cur, 6 = NCur) (X = 200). (b) Results expressed as mean ± SEM. In the following figures, L = live cells, EA = early apoptotic cells, LA = late apoptotic cells, and N = necrotic cells. Values in the same column with unlike superscript letters are significantly different at p < 0.001.
