Biological Activity
Vitamin U chloride (100 μM, 24 h) promotes the growth and migration of human dermal fibroblasts(hDFs)[1].
Vitamin U chloride (0-1 mM, 24 h) activates ERK1/2 in hDFs[1].
Vitamin U chloride (0.1 g/L in the nutrient solution) reduces cell membrane damage in higher plants exposed to low-temperature stress[2].
Vitamin U chloride (10-100 mM, 7 days) inhibits adipocyte differentiation via down-regulation of adipogenic factors and up-regulation of AMPK activity[3].
