The effect of ASMDM on the viability of HLCCs. Confluent HLCCs grown in gas permeable 24-well plates were exposed to varying concentrations of ASMDM in Ham’s F-12 complete medium. After 24 h, mean viability was determined using Trypan blue staining. There are statistically significant differences in mean cell viability between the different combinations (ANOVA, p < 0.0001). A Tukey-HSD post-hoc test indicated that the mean cell viability in 100 % ASMDM is statistically different from the 0, 20, 40, 60, or 80 % ASMDM (p < 0.0001 for all), and that the mean cell viability in 80 % ASMDM is statistically different than the 0 or 20 % ASMDM (p = 0.0336 and p = 0.0404, respectively). Values are averages of four independent experiments with duplicate or triplicate wells. Bars show standard deviation. Variables with different letters are statistically different (oneway ANOVA, p < 0.05)
