Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) [µg/mL] of the extracts of E. menziesii against 3T3-L1 cell line.
| Extract | Fibroblast State | Adipose State | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 h | 24 h | 48 h | 4 h | 24 h | 48 h | |
| Hx | >1000 a | >1000 a | 105.01 ± 2.12 b | >1000 a | 110.15 ± 4.15 b | 8.78 ± 3.12 c |
| Chl | >1000 c | >1000 c | 107.79 ± 1.98 d | 13.17 ± 3.13 d | 109.15 ± 3.11 e | 8.46 ± 4.16 d |
| MeOH | >1000 e | >1000 e | >1000 e | >1000 f | >1000 f | 107.79 ± 2.67 g |
Hx: Hexane extract; Chl: chloroform extract; MeOH: methanol extract. To determine IC50 see Materials and Methods section for details. Two-way ANOVA and Turkey’s test with multiple comparisons were performed for each cell state, considering α value of 0.05. a–g Same superscript lowercase letters mean there are no statistically significant differences between the values of each treatment; distinct letters indicate statistically significant differences between treatments.
