Fig. 3. Effect of NAC supplementation in Mg deficient and Mg standard cultures of rat hepatocytes, on reduced glutathione (GSH), caspase-3 activity and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) concentrations. {blacksquare} control cultures and {square} cultures treated with NAC (5 mM). Values are means ± S.E.M. (n = 3 different hepatocyte cultures). For control cultures, means without a common letter (a, b, c) differ (p ≤ 0.05). For NAC cultures, means without a common letter (a', b', c') differ (p ≤ 0.05). *Different from control cultures without NAC in the corresponding Mg treatment condition (p ≤ 0.05).
