Potential Antiglycation and Hypoglycaemic Effects of Toona ciliata M. Roem. and Schkuhria pinnata Lam. Thell. Crude Extracts in Differentiated C2C12 Cells

Figure 7

The effects of different extracts of S. pinnata at 100 μg/ml in the presence or absence of insulin on the glucose uptake by murine myoblast cells (C2C12) at different time intervals. SPiM=S. pinnata methanol extract, SPiA=S. pinnata acetone extract, SPiH=S. pinnata hexane extract, and DMSO= Dimethylsulphoxide. The results were obtained from three independent experiments and expressed as means ± standard deviation. The statistical significance of the results was tested using One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) employing the Dunnett Multiple Comparisons Test between the control and the different treatments within the same time group. The p value significance was represented by an asterisk () for p<0,05 and two asterisks () for p<0,01.Superscripts represent significant differences among the extracts at given time-points. Extracts with the same superscript were not significantly different while those with different superscripts showed significance of p <0,05.
