Figure 4. C and Q prevent TNFα-mediated reduced adiponectin secretion from 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
3T3-L1 adipocytes were incubated without or with catechin (C), quercetin (Q) or both compounds (Q) (1 and10 µM) for 4 h, and subsequently in the absence or presence of 20 ng/ml TNFα for further 24 h. Medium adiponectin levels were measured. Data represent means ± SEM of three independent experiments. Values having different superscripts are significantly different, p < 0.05, one way ANOVA test.
