(a) Western blot study showing the effect of EL extract and SM treatments on the expression of insulin signaling proteins: IR and PI(3)K in the adipose tissue as compared to diabetic rats. β-actin was taken as an internal control. (b) Immunoprecipitation study showing the effect of EL extract and SM treatments on the phosphorylation of insulin signaling proteins: IR in the adipose tissue as compared to diabetic rats (100 ug protein).
