Analysis (by qRT-PCR) of the Bcl2 expression induced by 24-, 48- and 72- hour exposure to Pioglitazone at 5.6 mM and 23 mM glucose concentrations

Glucose concentration	Time(h)	FC	p-value
5.6 mM	24	−1.2	ns
	48	−1.1	ns
	72	1.0	ns
23 mM	24	−3.0	0.001
	48	−2.5	0.002
	72	−1.1	ns

Negative FC (fold-change) represents downregulation by Pioglitazone.
