Alpha Mangostin Inhibits the Proliferation and Activation of Acetaldehyde Induced Hepatic Stellate Cells through TGF- and ERK 1/2 Pathways

Figure 1

Morphological observation of LX-2 cells after treatment with (a) vehicle only, (b) acetaldehyde 100 μM, (c) acetaldehyde 100 μM + sorafenib 10 μM, (d) acetaldehyde 100 μM + alpha mangostin 10 μM, (e) acetaldehyde 100 μM acetaldehyde + alpha mangostin 20 μM, and (f) acetaldehyde 100 μM + alpha mangostin 10 μM. Observation was done under confocal microscope (20 x magnification).
