Fig. 7From: Extracts from Aralia elata (Miq) Seem alleviate hepatosteatosis via improving hepatic insulin sensitivityImproved insulin sensitivity in liver and muscle is associated with increased PI3K, Akt2 activities and GLUT4 expression in Aralia elata (Miq) Seem (AE) extract-treated mice. (A) PI3K activity in liver tissue. (B) Akt2 activity in liver tissue. (C) GLUT4 mRNA expression level in muscle tissue. Results are the mean ± SEM. Results are the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 compared with the HFD-fed group. Normal, Normal chaw-fed group; HFD, HFD-fed group; AE100, HFD + Aralia elata (Miq) Seem 100 mg/kg -treated group; AE300, HFD + Aralia elata (Miq) Seem 300 mg/kg-treated group; RV, HFD+ resveratrol 300 mg/kg-treated groupBack to article page
