Figure 4

Effect of NSE on the phosphorylation of ACC in skeletal muscle and liver tissues and on Glut4 expression in skeletal muscle tissue. Samples of soleus muscle (a) and (c) and liver (b) tissues were obtained from diabetic Meriones shawi treated with NSE or vehicle (DC) and analysed by immunoblotting with antibody specific to phospho-ACC (a) and (b) and Glut4 (c). Immunoblots are representatives of results obtained from four animals of each group.
