DPHC attenuates MGO-induced toxicity in HEK cells. (a) HEK cells were incubated with the indicated concentrations of DPHC for 24 h. (b) HEK cells were incubated with the indicated concentrations of MGO for 24 h. (c) HEK cells were incubated with or without 40 μM DPHC for 1 h and then further incubated with 1 mM MGO for 24 h. CCK-8 assays were subsequently performed. Experiments were performed in triplicate. , , and . n.s.: no significance.
