Effects of Adiponectin on Glucose Metabolism in the Hepatopancreas of Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

Figure 5

Effects of adiponectin on serum glucose and hepatopancreas glycogen levels of grass carp. Fish were intraperitoneally injected with adiponectin A or adiponectin B at dosages of 0, 5, 50, and 500 ng/g BW. The effects of adiponectin A (a, c) and adiponectin B (b, d) on serum glucose (a, b) and hepatopancreas glycogen levels (c, d) of grass carp were detected at 1 h post injection. All data are expressed as (). Different lowercase letters in each group represent statistically significant differences ().
