Antilipotoxicity Activity of Osmanthus fragrans and Chrysanthemum morifolium Flower Extracts in Hepatocytes and Renal Glomerular Mesangial Cells

Figure 6

Effects of OF and CM on TGF-β and fibronectin expression in oleic acid- (OA-) stimulated mesangial SV40-Mes13 cells. TGF-β protein level in cell supernatant was measured by the ELISA method (a). Fibronectin deposition was observed by immunofluorescence staining (b). OF and CM suppressed OA-induced fibronectin protein level (c) and mRNA expression (d). Data were presented as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. Values not sharing common superscripts are significantly different ().
