In Vitro | Silybin (0-200 mM; for 72 hours) has growth inhibition in a time- and dose-dependent manner[1]. Silybin (68 μM; for 72 hours) induces apoptosis and increases the cells in G1-phase of ~22%[1]. Silybin (68 μM; for 72 hours) induces AKT activity inhibition[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: HepG2 cell growth Concentration: 0-200 mM Incubation Time: For 72 hours Result: Had growth inhibition in a time- and dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 68 μM. Apoptosis Analysis[1] Cell Line: HepG2 cell growth Concentration: 68 μM Incubation Time: For 72 hours Result: Induced apoptosis in a higher number of cells (60%) when compared to untreated cells. Cell Cycle Analysis[1] Cell Line: HepG2 cell growth Concentration: 68 μM Incubation Time: For 72 hours Result: Increased the cells in G1-phase of ~22% and decreased of 47% the cells in S-phase. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: HepG2 cell growth Concentration: 68 μM Incubation Time: For 72 hours Result: Induced AKT activity inhibition. |
In Vivo | Silybin (50, 100 mg/kg/day; given intragastrically for the last 4 weeks) significantly lowers both serum and hepatic lipid accumulation[2]. Animal Model: Male C57BL/6J mice (6-8 weeks old) with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)[2] Dosage: 50, 100 mg/kg Administration: Given intragastrically; daily; for the last 4 weeks Result: Significantly lowered both serum and hepatic lipid accumulation. |
