Effect of AE (A) and NDGA (B) on the production of reduced glutathione (GSH) by glucose-treated macrophages. Cells were incubated for 24 h in the presence of glucose 5.5 mM (basal), 11 mM and 55 mM with or without AE or NDGA. Results are expressed as Mean ± SEM of three or more experiments performed in triplicate. p < 0.05: significantly different with respect to basal conditions and #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001: significantly different with respect to each glucose concentration (One way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test)
