Table 3 IC50 (mM) and MTI% (%) of cell lines after 3-h treatments with ascorbate (AA) and combination where either AA was administered first (AA+LA) or LA was administered first (LA + AA). MTI%: Minimum threshold of inhibition percentage (calculated from the average of lowest three concentrations)

  1. For AA+LA: cells were incubated with AA, media and LA for 3 h, respectively. IC50 of AA was analyzed after a total incubation of 72 h (keep a ratio of AA: LA at 10:1). Results were shown by IC50 of ascorbate (AA)
