The effect of AGE-HSA on apoptosis and caspase-3 activity in ADSCs. The cells were incubated with HSA (300 μg/ml) or AGE-HSA (50–500 μg/ml) for 24 h. The level of apoptosis (A) and caspase-3 activity assay (B) were measured by ELISA. Each value is expressed as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 vs. control (HSA 300 μg/ml).
