Five groups were subjected to an assessment of apoptosis cells in the typical diagrams by flow cytometry (annexinV⁺/7-AAD⁻). The percentage of annexinV⁺/7-AAD⁻, as the index of the apoptosis cells, increased in the model group. XST-treated groups declined the apoptosis cells as indicated by the quantitative bar graph (a). All samples were tested in three independent experiments with three replicates each. Data are represented as the mean ± SD (^*P < 0.05 vs. the control or the XST-treated groups)
