TABLE 1

Effect of inhibitors of ceramide synthesis upon the antiproliferative effects of CBD (25 μM) on U87 cell viability (MTT test)

U87 cells were incubated in the absence or presence of CBD and different concentrations of inhibitors. The values are expressed as mean O.D. ± S.E.M. of at least three independent experiments.
