Effect of the extracts of unfermented and fermented cherry silverberry fruit on the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Cells were treated with various concentrations of extracts of unfermented (UnF) cherry silverberry fruits and samples fermented by single and co-cultures (LPLC) of Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) and L. casei (LC). a After 24 h incubation, SRB assay was performed and b morphology was observed under an inverted microscope (magnification, 200x). Data are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent measurements. Significant differences were compared to the control at *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
