Figure 1. Cytotoxicity of resveratrol assessed by the Mossman assay. The bars report the percentage
of viable cells after different times of exposure to the drug (24 hr: four bars to the left; 48 hr two bars
to the right). The untreated control and the sample in DMSO at 48 hr are omitted since the data are
virtually identical to the ones obtained at 24 hr. Data reported in upper panel refer to 3T6 cells while
those shown in the lower panel refer to HL60 cells.
