Stevioside from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni Increases Insulin Sensitivity in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes

Figure 3

Glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes exposed to (a) insulin and (b) TNF-α. Optimum insulin concentration to stimulate glucose uptake was 100 nM, while optimum TNF-α concentration to reduce glucose uptake was 1.0 ng/mL. Mean ± SEM (𝑛=4). Statistically significant compared to control (*𝑝<0.05, **𝑝<0.01, ***𝑝<0.001, ANOVA & Dunnett’s test).
