Relative transcription of key gluconeogenesis genes in BME26 cells is modulated by starvation treatment. (A) HK—Hexokinase, (B) PK—Pyruvate Kinase, (C) G6Pase—Glucose-6-Phosphatase, (D) PEPCK—Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase, (E) G6PDH—Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase. Transcript levels were measured at 24 and 48 h of starvation (STV). The experiment was performed with three independent biological samples in three experimental replicates each. Data are shown as mean ± SD and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, compared to control in Tukey’s multiple comparisons test (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).
