Costunolide reduces HSC activation. Primary rat HSCs at passages 3 through 5 were treated with costunolide at the indicated concentrations for 24 h. a – MTT assay for evaluating cell viability, which is presented as a percentage of the control. b – Real-time PCR for determining the mRNA expression of α-SMA and collagen I. c – Western blot assay for determining the protein expression of α-SMA and collagen I with quantification of the blots. Statistics: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. control
