Effects of FFAE of krill oil on the proliferation of CRC cells compared to the anti-cancer drug Oxaliplatin. Cell viability of DLD-1 (a), HT-29 (b), LIM-2405 (c) and CT-26 (d) cells were determined using WST-1 assay following 24 h of treatment with FFAE of krill oil (KO) at the concentrations of 0.03 μL/100 μL (containing 0.13 μM EPA/0.065 μM DHA), 0.06 μL/100 μL (containing 0.26 μM EPA/0.13 μM DHA), and 0.12 μL/100 μL (containing 0.52 μM EPA/0.26 μM DHA) or chemotherapeutic drug, Oxaliplatin (OXAL). The experiment was repeated three times for each cell line. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3), *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 indicate a significant difference between the treatment and Ethanol (vehicle) control
