Insulin receptor and GLUT-4 in the liver and visceral white adipose tissue after V10-DMAP treatments. Photomicrographs show immunoreactivity to the insulin receptor and GLUT-4, both marked in green and counterstain with DAPI for nuclei, in the liver and adipose tissue. (a)–(d) Hepatic biopsies, insulin receptor phosphorylated in tyrosine (Tyr 1162/1163), and magnification 20x. (e)–(h) Visceral white adipose biopsies, insulin receptor phosphorylated in tyrosine (Tyr 1162/1163), and magnification 40x. (i)–(l) Visceral white adipose biopsies, glucose transporter type 4 insulin-dependent, and magnification 40x.
