Cytotoxicity of compounds 1–3 in HepG2 cells was measured using the MTT assay. Statistical analysis was performed using a one-way analysis of the variance (ANOVA) followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison tests. All error bars are S.E.M (A). Change in the mRNA expression level of the SQLE gene in cells treated at different concentrations. The transcription level of SQLE gene was normalized by an internal CD36 mRNA control. The data are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M (n = 3). * p < 0.05 vs. control (B).
