Quercetin Improves Glucose and Lipid Metabolism of Diabetic Rats: Involvement of Akt Signaling and SIRT1
Figure 1
Quercetin ameliorated the hepatic histomorphological injury and enhanced hepatic glycogen content levels in STZ-induced diabetic rats. (a) Images of hepatic histopathological analysis by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining display representative hepatocytes and structures of the hepatic lobule of HE-stained sections in control, diabetes, QU-low, QU-high, and pioglitazone-treated rats at an original magnification of 200x. (b) Hepatic glycogen content of control, diabetes, QU-low, QU-high, and pioglitazone-treated rats was evaluated by anthrone assay. Data are means ± SD, . versus control group and # versus diabetic group by ANOVA.
