Antiadipogenesis of Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz Extract via PPARγ2 in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes

Figure 6

Effect of Oroxylum indicum extract (OIE) on the localization of adiponectin in the 3T3-L1 cells. The adiponectin is stained in green color, and nuclei are stained in blue color. (a) Negative control, differentiated cells without adiponectin, shows no staining of the adiponectin. (b) A few staining of the adiponectin in the nondifferentiated cells with adiponectin (ND, preadipocytes). (c) Staining of the adiponectin is observed in the untreated differentiated cells (CON). (d) Differentiated cells treated with 0.1% DMSO (V-CON, vehicle control). (e) Differentiated cells treated with simvastatin at 1.67 μg mL⁻¹ (SIM, positive control). Differentiated cells treated with OIE at (f) 200 μg mL⁻¹; (g) 150 μg mL⁻¹; (h) 100 μg mL⁻¹; (i) 50 μg mL⁻¹. Scale bar: 100 μm.
