Effects of SGJT on AMPK phosphorylation in HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were treated with 30 μM simvastatin or SGJT (250, 500 μg/mL) with 20 mg/mL MβCD for 8 h in 0.2% BSA-DMEM. Cell lysates were then harvested and subjected to Western blotting analysis for AMPK phosphorylation (pThr-172-AMPK). Quantified data of protein levels indicated in lower panel. The values of density of proteins were all justified with β-actin. The relative density ratios of untreated cells were set at a value of 1.0. Values not sharing a common alphabet as superscripts are significantly different from each other at the level of (ANOVA followed by Duncan’s test). Similar results were obtained in three separate experiments.
