Figure 1From: The Chinese herbal medicine FTZ attenuates insulin resistance via IRS1 and PI3K in vitro and in rats with metabolic syndrome Effect of FTZ on glucose content in HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells (2 × 105 cells/well) were incubated for 36 h in serum-free DMEM containing 10-6mol/l insulin in the absence or presence of FTZ or RGS. The content of glucose was quantified using a GOD-POD kit. ΔP<0.05 compared to the control cells; *P <0.05 compared to the IR cells.Back to article page
