A Chinese Herbal Decoction, Dang Gui Bu Xue Tang, Prepared from Radix Astragali and Radix Angelicae sinensis, Ameliorates Insulin Resistance Induced by A High-Fructose Diet in Rats
Figure 7
The autoradiograph resulting from Western blot analysis of representative protein levels for glucose transporter subtype 4 (GLUT 4) in the membrane (a) and cytosolic (b) fractions of soleus muscle from fructose chow-fed rats responded to insulin stimulation following repeatedly oral administration of DBT (2.5 g k per day) or rosiglitazone (4 mg k per day) for 14 days. Rats that did not receive any treatment were given the same volume of vehicle (distilled water) used to dissolve the test medications. Similar results were obtained with an additional four replications. Quantification of protein levels expressed as mean with SD (n = 5 per group) in each column. and represents the level of significance compared to the values with vehicle-treated standard chow-fed rats, respectively.
