Inhibitory Effects of Compounds and Extracts from Ampelopsis brevipedunculata on IL-6-Induced STAT3 Activation

Figure 1

The viability of Hep3B cells after treatment with the ethanol (ABE), ethyl acetate (ABEA), and water fractions (ABW) obtained from A. brevipedunculata (a). The inhibitory effects of ABE, ABEA, and ABW on IL-6/STAT3 activation in Hep3B cells were determined using a luciferase assay (b). Genistein was used as a positive control. Values are the means ± SE; p < 0.05, compared with the IL-6-treated group.
