Comparison of YMS fractions and reference drugs for bio-activities against methylglyoxal-mediated in vitro glycation, ROS elevation, and viability reduction. a Anti-glycation activities of YMS fractions (100 μg/ml), AG (2 mM), Met (100 μg/ml), and Trox (100 μg/ml). Data are mean ± SEM; n = 3. ap < 0.05, bp < 0.01, cp < 0.001 versus the corresponding YMS-EA group. b Inhibitory effects of YMS fractions and reference drugs on methylglyoxal (800 μM)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels after 24 h. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 5). cp < 0.001 versus the YMS-EA group. c Protective effects of YMS fractions and reference drugs on methylglyoxal (800 μM)-mediated cell death after 24 h. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 5). cp < 0.001 versus the YMS-EA group
