Fig. 4From: Crateva unilocularis Buch-Ham leaf extract improves glucose metabolism via regulation of insulin secretion and sensitivity in vitro and in vivoEffect of CULE on cell viability (A), glucose uptake (B), immunofluorescence images and intensity of GLUT4 (C–G), and mRNA expression of GLUT4 and IRS-1 (D-F) in L6 myotubes. L6 myoblast were induced to differentiate with 2% horse serum. Cell viability was determined by the MTT assay. The quantitation of 2-NBDG uptake was assessed by the intracellular accumulation of fluorescence. Insulin (IN, 100 nM) was used as the positive control. Each value is the mean ± SE of three independent repeated experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. controlBack to article page
