Figure 1.

Effect of methanolic extracts from eight plants on endogenous secretory receptor for advanced glycation end products (esRAGE) production in human umbilical vein endothelial cells cultured in high glucose. The esRAGE productions of control (dimethyl sulfoxide) and samples in human umbilical vein endothelial cells cultured in high (4.5 g/L) glucose are indicated by unshaded and shaded columns, respectively. Two groups of experiments were formed, one receiving continuous 10 μL methanolic extracts from edible plants (MEEP) (a) and the other receiving continuous 100 μL MEEP (b) Values are the mean ± standard deviation of three measurements. **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 compared with the controls
