Saxagliptin promotes mineral deposition in MC3T3-E1 cells. Cells were stimulated with osteogenic differentiation induction medium (ODIM) in the presence or absence of Saxagliptin (1, 2 µM) for 14 days. Mineral nodule formation was measured using Alizarin red S staining (***, P < 0.005 vs. vehicle group; #, ##, P < 0.05, 0.01 vs. ODIM group, n = 5–6).
