2.9. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium
bromide assay
The cytotoxicity effect of the fermented herb extracts
was determined with the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-
diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. In the MTT assay,
succinate dehydrogenase mitochondrial activity is measured as
an indicator of cell viability and proliferation. In this study, the
cell viability assay was modified from that reported by Wodnicka
et al
