Panax ginseng Total Protein Facilitates Recovery from Dexamethasone-Induced Muscle Atrophy through the Activation of Glucose Consumption in C2C12 Myotubes

Figure 2

GP decreases DEX-induced LDH release and Ca²⁺ concentration increase in C2C12 myotubes. (a) After treatment with DEX for 24 h, cells were incubated with GP (5–20 μg/mL) for 24 h. LDH release was measured by spectrophotometry. (b) After treatment with DEX for 24 h, cells were incubated with GP (5–20 μg/mL) for 24 h. Ca²⁺ concentration was measured by flow cytometry. (c) Histogram analysis of Ca²⁺ concentration. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 3); < 0.001 compared to the control group; ^## p < 0.01 and ^### p < 0.001 compared to the DEX group.
