Reversal of Myoblast Aging by Tocotrienol Rich Fraction Posttreatment

Figure 4

Effects of SIPS and TRF on the presence of SA-β-galactosidase in the (a) young control, (b) SIPS-induced cells, (c) TRF control group, (d) pretreated cells with TRF, and (e) posttreated cells with TRF (magnification 50x). SIPS significantly increased the presence of blue stained positive β-galactosidase in the myoblast as compared to young control. However, posttreated TRF reduced the blue stained positive β-galactosidase as compared to SIPS-induced cells.
