(a) Glucose infusion rate, at steady state, required to maintain euglycemia during euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp in PCOS LPva rats and PCOS controls. Values are mean ± SEM, PCOS LP versus PCOS-control, * (the Mann-Whitney test). (b) Quantitative blot of PPARgamma protein in PCOS rat adipose tissues. (c) Relative PPARgamma mRNA expression in the adipose tissue of PCOS control () versus PCOS LP (). The mRNA was corrected by -actin. The level of the expression in the control group was arbitrarily set at 100%. (d) Representative Western blot of PPARgamma in PCOS rat adipose tissues. Western blots of total protein were probed with anti-PPARgamma antibodies and then reprobed with anti-GAPDH to confirm equal loading. Densitometric analyses presented as the relative ratio of PPARgamma to GAPDH. The results represent mean ± S.E.M. from 3 independent experiments. * as determined by the Mann-Whitney test.
