Role of AMPKα in Skeletal Muscle Glycometabolism Regulation and Adaptation in relation to Sepsis

Figure 5

The effect of LPS on total GLUT4 and m-GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle (soleus muscle or extensor digitorum longus). Preparation of plasma membrane fraction from the skeletal muscles was performed. The proteins were analyzed by western blot. Results were normalized by 𝛼-tubulin, and the m-GLUT4 was normalized by the total protein. Data were represented as mean ± S.D. (𝑛=6, per group) ^∗𝑃<0.05,  ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 LPS group (LPS) versus control group (Con).
