Alpha-Amylase Inhibits Cell Proliferation and Glucose Uptake in Human Neuroblastoma Cell Lines

Figure 4

³H-glucose uptake in SH-SY5Y, IMR-32, and LA-N-1 cells treated with α-amylase. α-Amylase was added to the final concentration of 2 U/l (control received 0.9% NaCl) at 24 h after seeding. One hour later, ³H-glucose was added to the medium. After 24 h of incubation in the presence of ³H-glucose, the uptake was determined by liquid scintillation counting. Data are represented as mean of six independent . indicates a statistical significance between α-amylase treated and control when and when .
