Identification of Bioactive Components from Ruellia tuberosa L. on Improving Glucose Uptake in TNF-α-Induced Insulin-Resistant Mouse FL83B Hepatocytes

Figure 2

Effects of RTL-EA fractions on glucose uptake in mouse FL83B hepatocytes. Each value is mean ± SD (n = 3). C (control): FL83B cells incubated with F-12K medium. T (TNF-α treatment): FL83B cells incubated with F-12K medium containing TNF-α (20 ng/ml) for 16 hours to induce insulin resistance. EAFs: TNF-α induced insulin resistance and then coincubated with RTL-EA fractions (25 µg/ml) for 30 min. Significantly different from control ().
