Procyanidin B2 Alleviates Palmitic Acid-Induced Injury in HepG2 Cells via Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Pathway

Figure 4

PCB2 rescues PA-induced endoplasmic reticulum dysfunction in HepG2 cells. Cells were exposed to PA (125 μM) and treated by PCB2 (2.5, 5, and 10 μM) for 12 h and then incubated with ER-Tracker Red (red) and Hoechst 33342 (blue) solution, respectively, and relative fluorescence intensity was measured. Scale bar = 50 μm. Typical cells were marked with white arrows. The data are presented as means ± S.D. ### < 0.001 vs control,  < 0.001 vs model group.
