Effects of Huanglian-Renshen-Decoction, a Fixed Mixture of Traditional Chinese Medicine, on the Improvement of Glucose Metabolism by Maintenance of Pancreatic <i>β</i> Cell Identity in db/db Mice

<div><i>Immunofluorescence images of ki67/insulin/glucagon and caspase 12/insulin/glucagon coexpression and Western blotting images of cleaved-caspase 3/caspase 3, bcl2/bax expression in pancreas.</i> (a) Immunofluorescence images showing glucagon (blue), insulin (green), and Ki67 (red) coexpression in the islets. (b) Immunofluorescence images showing glucagon (blue), insulin (green), and caspase 12 (red) coexpression in the islets. (c) Western blotting showing t cleaved-caspase 3/caspase 3, bcl2/bax expression in the pancreas. n=4-6 mice in each group. All immunofluorescence images were taken with a fluorescence microscope (×400) and Odyssey Scanning.</div>
