Article Title: Sex-dependent adipose glucose partitioning by the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier
doi: 10.1101/2024.05.11.593540
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A - B) Normalized, quantified protein expression and representative western blot of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier proteins in subcutaneous adipose tissue from wild type vs genetically obese (ob/ob) mice ( A ) and from human subjects with normal glucose tolerance vs impaired fasting glucose plus impaired glucose tolerance ( B ). ( C - H ) Pearson correlations between the protein expression of MPC1 ( A , D , E ) or MPC2 ( F , G , H ) in subcutaneous adipose tissue and indices of glucose tolerance ( C and F ), insulin sensitivity ( D and G ) and adipose insulin resistance ( E and H ) in human subjects. Data are n=5 ( A ) or n=7 ( B – H ) in each group. *P<0.05, ***P<0.001 vs control group ( A and B ).
Article Snippet: Immunoblot analysis was carried out on cell or adipose lysates using mouse or human primary antibodies against MPC1 (Sigma #HPA045119), MPC2 (Cell Signaling Technologies #46141), GAPDH (Sigma #G8795) and β-Tubulin (Abcam #179513) and developed by chemiluminescence (ECL).
