Ginseng and Its Active Components Ginsenosides Inhibit Adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 Cells by Regulating MMP-2 and MMP-9
Figure 2
Effects of GE and GSs on adipocyte-specific gene expression in 3T3-L1 cells. (a) 3T3-L1 cells were treated with MDI (control), MDI plus GE (10 g/mL), TGSs (10 g/mL), or individual GSs (i.e., Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Rf, Rg1, Rg2, Rg3 (10 M each), and Re (0.1 M)). All values are expressed as the mean ± SD of relative density units (R.D.U.) using -actin as a reference. (b) Representative PCR bands from one of three independent experiments are shown. # compared with the ND group, * compared with the Con group. ND: nondifferentiated; Con: differentiated control; GE: ginseng extract; TGSs: total ginsenosides.
