CSE induced apoptosis. a Green fluorescent staining by caspase-3/7 reagent revealed apoptosis cells. The number of green fluorescent staining was increased in 15 % CSE treatment. b Apoptotic index was increased over time in 10 % CSE, 15 % CSE or 100 μM H2O2 treatment compared with CTL. *: p < 0.05 compared with CTL. c Apoptotic index increased depending on CSE concentration. Apoptotic indices in 15 % CSE, 100 μM H2O2 treatment were significantly increased compared with CTL. CTL: control
