The Effect of Tianmai Xiaoke Pian on Insulin Resistance through PI3-K/AKT Signal Pathway

Figure 2

PI3-K/AKT signal pathway-related gene mRNA expression levels in different tissues. IRS-1, IRS-2, PI3-K p85α, and p-AKT2 mRNA expression were tested using RT-PCR in liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissues from rats of each experimental group. RT-PCR: reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction; TMXKP: Tianmai Xiaoke Pian. Data are expressed as means ± SD (). versus control group; versus untreated diabetic group.
