Steviol Glycosides Modulate Glucose Transport in Different Cell Types
Figure 7
Effects of Stevia extracts on GLUT content. SH-SY5Y and HL-60 cells, treated with insulin or with steviol glycosides, were lysed with CelLytic M as described in Section 2. Cell lysates were electrophoresed and immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies, as described in Section 2. β-Actin detection was used as a control. Immunoblots representative of three independent experiments are reported for SH-SY5Y (a) and HL-60 (b) cell lines; densitometric analysis (normalized for β-actin content and expressed as fold of control) is shown for GLUT1 (c) and GLUT4 (d). *, significantly different from control cells.
