Light microscopy images demonstrating morphology of MCF-7 cells after glutamine deprivation. Morphology of the MCF-7 cell line after 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h of glutamine deprivation compared to MCF-7 cells propagated in complete growth medium 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h. Starvation of glutamine for (48 h, 72 h and 96 h) resulted in minor decreased cell density and the appearance of elongated cells when compared to cells propagated in growth medium (×20 magnification)
