Rosemary Extracts Upregulate Nrf2, Sestrin2, and MRP2 Protein Level in Human Hepatoma HepG2 Cells
Figure 2
Rosemary extract (RE), carnosic acid (CA), and carnosol (CL) increased the degree of caspase-3 levels in HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells (1 × 106 cells per well) were treated with RE (0, 30, 50, and 100 μg/mL) or CA and CL (0, 30, 50, and 100 μM), respectively, for 24 hrs. (a) Cleaved caspase-3 level in RE treated HepG2 cells after 24 hrs. (b) Cleaved caspase-3 level in CA treated HepG2 cells after 24 hrs. (c) Cleaved caspase-3 level in CL treated HepG2 cells after 24 hrs. Results are represented by statistical mean along with standard deviation, and .
