The treatment of high glucose-promoted HepG2 cells with metformin and asarone downregulates the expression of PCK-2. a A representative flow cytometry histogram events depicting the expression of PCK-2 in normal glucose (NG; 5.5 mM), high glucose (HG; 25 mM), HG + Metformin HCl, and HG + Asarone. b Bar diagrams represent geometric mean fluorescence intensity (GMFI) of PCK-2 in HepG2 cells. Values represent mean ± SEM of an experiment done in triplicate; one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni test, where ***p < 0.001 compared to the normal glucose (NG) group and ###p < 0.001 compared to the high glucose (HG) group
