Figure Lengend Snippet: The effect of 14-weeks of CON, WHEY or KDPWHE treatment in adults with type-2 diabetes mellitus on phosphoprotein concentration within the insulin-receptor signalling pathway upstream of regulatory nodes for GLUT4 translocation within the skeletal muscle in responses to basal (INS -) and insulin stimulation (hyperinsulinemic-isoglycaemic; INS +), with data shown as relative protein abundance at week 0 and 15. (A) Insulin-receptor substrate-1 phosphorylated on Ser312 (IRS-1 Ser312 ). (B) Representative immunofluorescence images of cross-sectional skeletal muscle fibres stained for IRS-1 Ser312 . IRS-1 ser312 was measured as staining intensity in the plasma membrane region (SM ). The small grey scale lines bottom right represent 50 μm. (C) Protein kinase B phosphorylation on Ser437 (Akt Ser437 ) expressed relative to total Akt. (D) Akt substrate 160 kDa phosphorylation on Thr642 (AS160 Thr642 ), (E) p21 activated kinase (PAK) phosphorylation on isoform 1 (PAK Thr423 ) and 2 (PAK Thr402 ). Data are raw unit median, upper and lower quartiles, and range, with individual-participant data points included. Raw unit point and change score mean and SD are in SM Data 1. Outcome statistics are in . CON, non-protein isocaloric control; KDPWHE, keratin-derived protein with whey; WHEY, whey protein isolate.
