Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) Reduces Cell Growth, Lipid Acquisition and Increases Adiponectin Expression in 3T3-L1 Cells

Figure 5

The effect of a GE on the expression of adiponectin (acrp30) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Western blot analysis (a) was performed as outlined in ‘Materials and methods’ section. Protein expressions were quantified densitometrically and integrated density values were calculated as the density values of the specific protein bands/β-actin density values and expressed as a percentage of the control (b) and expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. (c) The viability of the differentiated 3T3-L1 at the concentration used for western blot analysis cell. Asterisks indicate a significant different compared to control (Con).
