Figure Lengend Snippet: Flammulina velutipes polysaccharides (FVP) attenuated cell senescence triggered by advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity was measured in HGFs pretreated with AGEs and LPS, followed by the addition of FVP (A). The protein level of senescence marker p16 was determined by Western blot under the same treatment conditions (B).
