The Effects of Cordyceps sinensis (Berk.) Sacc. and Gymnema inodorum (Lour.) Decne. Extracts on Adipogenesis and Lipase Activity In Vitro

Figure 3

Graphical representation of the effects of CSE and GIE alone and combined on the percentage of intracellular lipid accumulation in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells, after Oil Red O staining. NON-DIF = preadipocytes (nondifferentiated cells); DIF = differentiated adipocytes (untreated adipocytes); SIM (1.67) = simvastatin at 1.67 μg mL⁻¹; CSE (10) = CSE at 10 μg mL⁻¹; GIE (500) = GIE at 500 μg mL⁻¹; the mean ± SEM values presented are for three replicates. Mean values followed by the same superscript letter were not statistically different (p < 0.05, Tukey’s test).
