From: microRNA-mediated resistance to hypoglycemia in the HepG2 human hepatoma cell line
Cultured HepG2 cells after incubation with various concentrations of glucose. Representative microphotographs of HepG2 cells cultured with 200 (a), 900 (b), and 1800 (c) mg/L of glucose for 1 week (original magnification × 20). The results of the MTS assay are shown in (d). HepG2 cells were cultured with three different glucose concentrations (200, 900, and 1800 mg/L) for 1 week and cell number was measured with the MTS assay. There were fewer HepG2 cells when cells were cultured in the hypoglycemic condition (200 mg/L) than in the normoglycemic condition (900 mg/L). ***p < 0.001
