Low-Frequency Electroacupuncture Improves Insulin Sensitivity in Obese Diabetic Mice through Activation of SIRT1/PGC-1 in Skeletal Muscle
Figure 1
Effect of electroacupuncture on IPITTs and IPGTTs. (a) Intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test. Mice were fasted overnight and then injected with insulin solution (2 U/kg of body mass) intraperitoneally. Blood glucose levels were determined at the time points indicated. (b) Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test. Mice were fasted overnight and then injected intraperitoneally with glucose (1 mg glucose/g of body mass). Blood glucose levels were measured at the indicated time points. Each data point represents the mean ± SE of four mice. versus db/m and db/m+EA, versus db/db.
