Protection of GQD and its aggregates against STZ-induced oxidative suppression of the growth of INS-1 β-cells. . Oxidative damage was induced with STZ at its IC₅₀ (46.4 mM). GQD: compared with STZ controls, 31.25 mg/mL (, labelled “”) and others (); MA: 400 g sediment, compared with STZ controls, at all concentrations, (“ ”); MNA: 15000 g sediment, compared with STZ controls, at all concentrations, (“”).
