Saponins from Aralia taibaiensis Attenuate D-Galactose-Induced Aging in Rats by Activating FOXO3a and Nrf2 Pathways

Figure 1

Saponins supplementation attenuated the decreased thymus and spleen coefficients as well as the increased AGEs level in D-galactose-induced aging rats. (a) Thymus coefficient, (b) spleen coefficient, and (c) AGEs level in serum. Data are expressed as mean ± SD; 𝑛=10. Intergroup comparisons were performed by Kruskal-Wallis rank-sign analysis of variance and the Mann-Whitney test. ^∗𝑃<0.05 versus Control and ^#𝑃<0.05 versus D-gal.
