-
Cell Line:3T3-L1 adipocytes
-
Concentration:200 μM with 1.15 nM and 2.87 nM TNFα
-
Incubation Time:72 h

-
Concentration:500 μM
-
Incubation Time:72 h
-
Result:Significantly reduced hypoxia-elicited cell invasion in both cell models.
-

-
Concentration:500 μM
-
Incubation Time:72 h

-
Cell Line:HeLa and SiHa cells

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:Male Wistar rats of 150 g, high-fat diet (HFD) model[1]
-
Dosage:100 mg/kg/day
-
Administration:In the drinking water, 6 weeks
-
Result:Significantly prevented the rise in body weight in HFD rats, but not in animals that were fed a standard diet. Reduced the increase in the weight of white adipose tissue (both epididymal and lumbar) in obese animals and attenuated their enhanced adiposity. Improved fasted glucose and insulin levels and consequently reduced HOMA index in the HFD group. Improved insulin signalling in adipose tissue from obese animals.
-
Animal Model:C57BL/6 mice[3]
-
Dosage:1 g/kg/day
-
Administration:In the drinking water, 4 weeks
-
Result:Induce thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) in all mice with 24 h of Ang II infusion. Caused 87% of C57BL/6 mice to develop TAD without Ang II.
