The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of LK-ME against production of AGEs.

	LK-ME	Taxifolin	Quercetin	Luteolin
Albumin-Glucose	×474.97 dil.	46.34 μM	47.28 μM	19.55 μM
	2.11 μl/ml	14.10 μg/ml	14.29 μg/ml	5.60 μg/ml
Collagen-Fructose	×3214.56 dil.	15.92μM	48.76 μM	41.42 μM
	0.31 μl/ml	4.83 μg/ml	14.74 μg/ml	11.86 μg/ml
Elastin-Glyceraldehyde	×102.14 dil.	293.32 μM	597.30 μM	n.d.
	9.80 μl/ml	89.24 μg/ml	180.53 μg/ml	n.d.

These IC50 values were calculated from the results of the glycation assay (Fig. 3). n.d.: no data.
