  1. Data represent mean ± SE, n = 4
  2. 1Glufosfamide was used in its IC50 value beside two of its fractions; 10 and 25 µM
  3. The number of HepG2 cells used was in the range of 5 × 105 ~ 5 × 106 cells/mL
  4. Bcl2 content was normalized to the reference β-actin gene and expressed as percent expression relative to untreated control cells
  5. *Significantly different from the same concentration incubated with HepG2 cells for 48 h at P < 0.05, using independent Student’s t test
  6. a,bData in the same rows having the same superscript are significantly different from each other at P < 0.05 using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey as post hoc test
