Boehmeria nivea Stimulates Glucose Uptake by Activating Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma in C2C12 Cells and Improves Glucose Intolerance in Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet

Figure 1

Effect of EBN on glucose uptake in C2C12 myotubes. Differentiated C2C12 cells were treated with EBN and 2-[N-(nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) amino]-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-NBDG) for 24 h. Then, the 2-NBDG assay was performed as described in Section 2 (a). After treatment of EBN for 24 h in C2C12 myotubes, the cytotoxicity was measured by MTT assay as described in Section 2. The result of MTT assay was expressed as percentage of control (None) (b). Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD); . versus None.
