Ginkgolide C Suppresses Adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes via the AMPK Signaling Pathway

Figure 1

Ginkgolide C suppresses adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells. (a) 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and (b) differentiated adipocytes cell viability were evaluated with the MTT assay. Oil red O stain shows (c) differentiated 3T3-L1 cells, (d) treated with ginkgolide C 3 μM, (e) 10 μM, (f) 30 μM, and (g) 100 μM. (h) Cells treated with isopropanol and the lipid accumulation measured at OD 490 nm and (i) glycerol concentrations assayed in supernatants. Data are presented as mean ± SD, . , , compared with the control group.
