Evaluation of GLUT-4 mRNA and protein levels in healthy and diabetic-ASCs cultured under standard conditions or in the presence of investigated bFGF concentrations. GLUT-4 protein was detected in examined cultures by immunofluorescent staining, magnification ×100 (a). Expression of GLUT-4 gene was quantified by real-time RT-PCR (b). p value <0.001.
