Fig. 2

Effects of Rhododendron leaf extracts on the cell numbers of IEC6 (a) and HaCaT (b) cells after 24 h incubation at 37 °C with three different concentrations (5, 50, and 500 μg/mL) of leaf extracts as indicated. The total number of cells as determined by Draq5™ staining reflects the effects of leaf extracts on cell viability and adhesion since only monolayer-associated cells were stained and counted in this assay. Values are given as mean ± standard deviations from three independent experiments, each performed in triplicates. Statistical evaluation was performed by one way ANOVA-analysis; levels of significance are indicated as *for p < 0.05
