Psoralea corylifolia L. Seed Extract Attenuates Methylglyoxal-Induced Insulin Resistance by Inhibition of Advanced Glycation End Product Formation

Figure 3

Effects of MGO and PCS extract on cell viability in HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of MGO (0.1–1 mM) for 24 h (a) or 48 h (b), and the cell viability was measured by CCK assay. (c) HepG2 cells were treated with MGO (1 mM) for the indicated times (0–24 h), and the cell viability was measured by CCK assay. HepG2 cells were treated with the indicated various concentrations of PCS extract (50–500 μg/mL) for 24 h (d) or 48 h (e). The cell viability was measured by CCK assay. Data are shown as (). , versus CON group. CON: control; MGO: methylglyoxal.
