Inhibition of Aldose Reductase Activates Hepatic Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-α and Ameliorates Hepatosteatosis in Diabetic db/db Mice

Figure 3

Effects of AR on PPARα and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in db/db mice. (a) Representative Western blot for four independent experiments. Liver tissues were dissected and analyzed 28 days after zopol treatment. (b) Representative Western blot for four independent experiments. Liver tissues were dissected and analyzed 28 days after transduction with lentiviruses containing pLV-shAR or pLV-shNC. pERK1/2, phospho-ERK1/2; pPPARα (S12), phosphoserine-12 PPARα; pPPARα (S21), phosphoserine-21 PPARα.
