Figure 2. Curcumin dose-dependently increases the abundance of PPARγ and pro-apoptotic Bax and decreases that of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 in passaged HSC.

Passaged HSC were treated with curcumin at indicated concentrations for 24 h. Whole-cell protein extracts were prepared for Western blotting analyses (n=3). β-Actin was an internal control for equal loading.
