(A) Fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were serum deprived and pretreated for 90 minutes with various doses of a SJW flower extract. (B) Fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were serum deprived and pretreated for the indicated times with 25 μg/ml of a SJW flower extract. After the pretreatment, cells were stimulated with insulin (10 nM) for 10 min. Glucose uptake was initiated by addition of 2-[3H] deoxyglucose. The glucose uptake values shown represent the mean +/- S.E. of triplicate determinations from four independent experiments.
