Sanguis draconis, a Dragon’s Blood Resin, Attenuates High Glucose-Induced Oxidative Stress and Endothelial Dysfunction in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

Figure 1

Effects of SD on the cell viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC): ((a), (b)) the viability of HUVECs during treatment with various concentrations (10–50 μg/mL) of SD for 24 and 48 h; ((c), (d)) the viability of HUVECs during treatment with various concentrations (25–150 mM) of glucose for 24 and 48 h; ((e), (f)) the viability of HUVECs upon treatment with various concentrations (0–50 μg/mL) of SD in glucose-induced (25 and 50 mM) HUVECs for 24 and 48 h. Data are shown as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments.^∗𝑃<0.05; ^∗∗𝑃<0.01, compared with the glucose treated group.
