(A) Insulin signaling proteins assayed using western blot. (B) All signal protein values were calculated as a ratio of signal protein to actin. The ratios were compared within the groups: (1) Saline group: control treated with normal saline only (2) Pred. + non-EA: SBRs not treated with EA (3) Pred. + EA: SBRs treated with EA for 60 min. The one way ANOVA was used to compare the means among groups *p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant vs. saline group.
