Figure 5
AM inhibited mTOR by activating AMPK in ANA-1 cells. (a) Western blot analysis of the effects of AM on p-mTOR and p-Akt proteins in ANA-1 cells. (b–d) The effects of AM on the phosphorylation of AMPK at varying doses in ANA-1 cells. Data represent (). Asterisks () indicate significant differences compared with the control group (, ). Number signs (#) indicate significant differences compared with the the LPS group (#, ##).
