Statistical Analysis
GraphPad Prism version 9 was used for statistical analyses. As the data
was not normally distributed non-parametric tests were used. In order to
assess the differences in the inhibitory effects of the commercial sPLA2
inhibitor in comparison to different concentrations of THB, the Wilcoxon
signed rank matched paired t test was used. P-values <0.05
were considered as statistically significant. The Holm-Sidak method,
which corrects for multiple comparisons was used to compare the
differences in the cell viability of MRC-5 cells treated with the plant
extract compared to Paclitaxel.
