Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of KGC05P0 on protein and mRNA expression in liver from C57BL/6J and C57BLKS/J db/db mice. (A) Protein expressions, (B) mRNA expression of IRS-1, (C) the ratio of phosphorylated/total PI3K protein expression, (D) the ratio of phosphorylated/total AKT protein expression, (E) FoxO1 mRNA expression, (F) G6Pase mRNA expression, (G) PEPCK mRNA expression, (H) GLUT2 mRNA expression, (I) glucokinase mRNA expression, (J) phosphofructokinase mRNA expression, and (K) acetyl-CoA carboxylase mRNA expressions. Values are presented as mean ± SD, and different alphabets indicate significance at P < 0.05. NC, normal control; C, control; PC, positive control (inulin, 400 mg/kg b.w.); L, low (KGC05P0 100 mg/kg b.w.); M, medium (KGC05P0 200 mg/kg b.w.); H, high (KGC05P0 400 mg/kg b.w.).
Article Snippet: After washing, the membranes were probed overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies against β-actin, IRS-1, P-IRS-1, AKT, phospho-AKT, PI3K, and phospho-PI3K (Cell Signaling Technology, 1:1000).
