Study the Effect of Vitamin C in Increasing the Oxidation Damage on Two Types of Cell Lines

الملخص

A method of testing the cytotoxicity by in vitro exposing different cells to vitamin C, intracellular metabolizing and then detecting cell damage in these cells as an indication of the cytotoxicity. From this data there was a great variation between the two cell lines, in which vitamin C effect on vero cell line was much better than Hep-2 cell line, this was due to the type of the cell, in which Hep-2 cell are encompassed of squamous cells and the vero cell line are encompassed of the Monkey kidney cells, which means different respond to cancer and transformed cell to vitamin C.
