Figure 2

Genipin enhances palmitic acid-induced superoxide production. Intracellular superoxide anion was detected by DHE staining. HepG2 cells were exposed to control medium (A), palmitic acid (PA, 250 μmol/L) (B) and PA plus genipin (5 μmol/L) (C) for 24 h. (D) Summarized data showing the average fluorescence intensity in cells from each group. Data are means ± SEM from six individual experiments. ** p < 0.01 compared with the control group, ##p < 0.01 compared with the cells treated with PA. PA, palmitic acid; DHE, dihydroethidium.
