Capsaicin suppresses cell proliferation/viability and induces cell death in a dose-dependent manner. (A) The effect of capsaicin on the proliferation/viability of KB cells was determined by a SRB assay as described in the Methods. Data are representative of three independent experiments and are expressed as the means ± SE of three replicates. (B) The cytotoxic effect of capsaicin on KB cells was determined by trypan blue exclusion as described in the Methods. Data are presented as the means ± SE from three independent experiments.
