Influence of 5,7-dihydroxyflavone on the activation of Akt, STAT3, and MAPK. (a) HepG2 cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of 5,7-dihydroxyflavone for 24 h. Western blotting was performed to determine the phosphorylation levels of Akt, STAT3, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). GADPH was used as loading control. (b, c), the relative densities of phospho-Akt and phosphor-STAT3 were determined following densitometric measurements of the specific protein bands and normalization against the value of total Akt and STAT3, respectively. The asterisk indicates a significant difference (**P < 0.01) compared with control. Data are mean ± SD.
