Syringic Acid Extracted from Herba dendrobii Prevents Diabetic Cataract Pathogenesis by Inhibiting Aldose Reductase Activity

Table 1

Effect of syringic acid at different concentrations on the proliferation of HLEC.

Group	Syringic acid concentration (g/L)	HLEC proliferation	Survival rate (%)	Inhibition ratio (%)
Normal control	—	0.5545±0.0029	100	0
Model control	—	0.2606±0.0029 *	47.01*	52.99*
High-dose syringic acid	0.4	0.4720±0.0032	74.38	25.62
Medium-dose syringic acid	0.2	0.5250±0.0013 **	79.97**	20.30**
Low-dose syringic acid	0.1	0.4610±0.0035	71.67	28.33

* 𝑃<0.05 compared to syringic acid groups and normal control group.
** 𝑃<0.05 compared to high-dose and low-dose syringic acid groups.
Data were expressed as mean ± SD (𝑛=6) or percentages. Inter-group differences were analyzed using the Nemenyi multiple-comparison H test.
