Cellular viability was determined using the stable tetrazolium salt WST-1 reagent (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), which is cleaved to soluble formazan by cellular mitochondrial dehydrogenases. RAW 264.7 cells were treated with CAP for 30 s, and the WST-1 assay was conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions at 24 h and 48 h posttreatment. Absorbance was measured using a microplate reader (Labsystems, Finland) at 450 nm.
