Effects of WSSP on insulin signaling in skeletal muscle and liver. The expression of phosphorylation of Akt in the skeletal muscles (A) and liver (B). The tissues were isolated after oral administration of WSSP and intraperitoneal injection of insulin. Subsequently, the lysates were subjected to Western blot analysis. Representative blot panels of each independent experiments are shown. Intensities of the bands were quantified, and the bar graphs show p-Akt levels corrected by Akt levels. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (n = 4). *P < 0.05 vs insulin. ^†P < 0.001 vs WSSP. ^‡P < 0.05 vs WSSP.
