Ginsenoside reverses H2O2-induced growth inhibition of HLE-B3 cells. HLE-B3 cells were treated with 1.75 μM H2O2 and low (5 μM), mid (10 μM) and high dose (20 μM) of ginsenoside. Viabilities of HLE-B3 cells were examined by MTT assays as detailed in Methods. Ginsenoside significantly alleviated the growth inhibitory effect of H2O2 on HLE-B3 cells with more than 3-fold increase in the percentage of viable HLE-B3 cells. No statistical difference was observed in the percentage of viable HLE-B3 cells treated with low (5 μM), mid (10 μM) and high dose (20 μM) of ginsenoside (P > 0.05)
