Fig. 2From: A novel botanical formula prevents diabetes by improving insulin resistanceThe individual (a) and synergetic (b) effect of fenugreek seed (FS), mulberry leaf (ML) and American ginseng (AG) extracts on insulin sensitivity in differentiated primary human subcutaneous adipocytes. After 20 h of pre-treatment with extracts or botanical test formula, glucose uptake was initiated with the addition of a cocktail containing 2-DOG and 3H-2-DOG with 1 nM insulin and incubate for 2 h. Change in insulin sensitivity was determined by setting 1 nM insulin as 0% and 100 nM as 100%, and calculating the percent change in the delta between 1 nM and 100 nM insulin. Data are presented as mean ± SD of triplicates. * P < 0.05 vs. 1:1:1 ratio groupBack to article page
