Figure Lengend Snippet: Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and CGA improved the insulin signaling pathway in rat liver. (A–C) Protein levels and densitometric quantification of phospho-insulin receptor substrate 1 (p-IRS1) (Ser307), total(t)-IRS1, phospho-protein kinase B (p-Akt) (Ser473), total(t)-Akt, and β-actin, bars represent densitometric quantification normalized to β-actin. All bars show means ± SEM. ( n = 4 per group). * P < 0.05, vs. CON group; # P < 0.05, vs. HFD group.
Article Snippet: Liver tissues were homogenized in RIPA buffer and centrifuged at 12,000 × g for 20 min. Membranes were incubated with primary antibodies against phospho-IRS1 (Ser307) (p-IRS1) (CST, #2381), total-IRS1 (t-IRS1) (CST, #2382), phospho-Akt (Ser473) (p-Akt) (CST, #4060), total-Akt (t-Akt) (CST, # 4685), AdipoR1 (ab126611), AdipoR2 (ab77612), ELOVL6 (ab69857), AMPK (CST, #5832), p-AMPK (Thr172) (CST, #2535), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-α) (ab24509), and β-actin (C1313).
