H4IIEC3 cells were transfected with PPAR-γ expression plasmids, along with PPRE reporter plasmid and tk-Renilla luciferase plasmid. Twenty-four hours before harvest, cells were exposed to the treatments listed above. Concentrations of the compounds were as described in Fig. 1; 30 μM rosiglitazone (Rosi) was used. N = 3. *P < 0.05 compared with control; #P < 0.05 compared with rosiglitazone alone, $P = 0.05 compared with AICAR + rosiglitazone; &P = 0.05 compared with metformin + rosiglitazone, δP < 0.05 compared with CC + rosiglitazone.
