In fact, the 4 h pretreatment of L6 rat myoblast cell line with alantolactone (11) (at 0.5 μM), followed by 24 h exposure to IL-6, caused a decrease in the IL-6 induced insulin resistance and allowed the increase of glucose uptake levels to the levels of the control group (without exposure to IL-6). The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is Insulin resistance.
