Figure 3.

The effect of G-Rg1 on the release of proinflammatory cytokines in PA-treated HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were treated with 0.25 mM PA for 24 h and then cultivated with 40 or 80 μg/mL G-Rg1 for 6 h. The levels of IL-1β (a), IL-6 (b), and TNF-α (c) in the cell supernatants were measured. The data are presented as the means ± SDs; n=3; ∗P<0.05, ∗∗P<0.01 (in comparison to the PA-treated model group).
