In Vitro Vitamin U chloride (100 μM, 24 h) promotes the growth and migration of human dermal fibroblasts(hDFs)[1]. Vitamin U chloride (0-1 mM, 24 h) activates ERK1/2 in hDFs[1]. Vitamin U chloride (0.1 g/L in the nutrient solution) reduces cell membrane damage in higher plants exposed to low-temperature stress[2]. Vitamin U chloride (10-100 mM, 7 days) inhibits adipocyte differentiation via down-regulation of adipogenic factors and up-regulation of AMPK activity[3]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: Human dermal fibroblasts(hDFs) Concentration: 100 μM Incubation Time: 24 h Result: Promoted hDFs proliferation. Western Blot Analysis[3] Cell Line: 3T3-L1 cells Concentration: 50, 70, 90 mM Incubation Time: 7 days Result: Increased AMPK phosphorylation and decreased PPAR-γ levels.
In Vivo Vitamin U chloride (50 mg/kg, oral gavage) prevents valproic acid-induced liver injury in rats[4]. Vitamin U chloride (50 mg/kg, oral gavage for 3 days) shows antioxidant effect and prevents GalN-induced gastric damage in rats[5]. Animal Model: Valproic acid (VPA)-induced rats with liver damage[4] Dosage: 50 mg/kg Administration: Oral gavage Result: Blocked the decrease in catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities. Increased in the levels of IL-1β, active caspase-3, and cytoplasmic cytochrome c. Increased in the number of proliferating cells nuclear antigen (PCNA) positive hepatocytes.
