a Inhibitory effect of AC on cell proliferation in HG-treated HBZY-1 cells by the CCK8 assay. b Inhibitory effect of marein on cell proliferation in HG-treated HBZY-1 cells by the CCK8 assay. Note: Values of cell proliferation among the groups were analyzed as described previously in Materials and methods. Values were expressed as the mean ± SD, n = 4. #P < 0.01 versus normal group; *P < 0.05 versus control group; **P < 0.01 versus control group
