      Dose-dependent antiproliferative effect of Russula grata ethanol extract on A549 lung cancer cells. Control refers to cells maintained in medium without any chemical treatment. DMSO represents the vehicle control group, treated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) only. Extract-treated groups were exposed to Russula grata ethanol extract at concentrations of 25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/mL.

    • Sample TAS (mmol/L) TOS (µmol/L) OSI (TOS/(TAS × 10))
      Russula grata 3.718 ± 0.040 10.410 ± 0.086 0.280 ± 0.002
      Note: values were studied with three repetitions, and standard deviation values are given; TAS: Total Antioxidant Status (mmol/L), TOS: Total Oxidant Status (μmol/L); OSI: Oxidative Stress Index (calculated as [TOS/(TAS × 10)]).
