Kangtaizhi Granule Alleviated Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in High-Fat Diet-Fed Rats and HepG2 Cells via AMPK/mTOR Signaling Pathway
Figure 6
Effect of KTZG on lipid accumulation and hepatic steatosis in FFA-induced HepG2 cells. (a) MTT assay of the HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were incubated in KZTG with FFA for 24 h. FFA: free fatty acids. (b) Intracellular TG levels in HepG2 cells treated with KTZG and FFA. (c) Oil red O staining images of HepG2 cells treated with KTZG and FFA (magnification ×200). (d) Effect of KTZG on the glucose uptake in FFA-induced HepG2 cells. (e) Western blotting for GLUT2 in HFD-fed liver tissues treated with KTZG. Compared to control group, ▲, ▲▲; compared to FFA group, ★, ★★.
