Fig. 2. Bavachin improves insulin sensitivity in vitro.

a AKT and GSK-3β phosphorylation were analysed by Western blot in primary mouse hepatocytes exposed to solvent or bavachin (20 μM) for 24 h and subsequently treated with 100 nM Insulin (Ins) for 5 min. b AKT and GSK-3β phosphorylation densitometry in a. c AKT and GSK-3β phosphorylation were analysed by Western blot in Huh7 cells exposed to solvent or bavachin (20 μM) for 24 h then treated with 100 nM Insulin (Ins) for 5 min. d AKT and GSK-3β phosphorylation densitometry in c. Data are presented as mean ± SEM; ^*P < 0.05, ^***P < 0.001 by Student’s t-test.
