Effect of fasting and refeeding on AQP9 levels in liver. (A Upper) Anti-AQP9 immunoblot of liver membranes from three rats after the indicated time of fasting. (A Lower) Scanning densities of anti-AQP9 immunoblot. (B) Average serum levels of glucose, urea, and β-hydroxybutyrate from the same rats. (C) After 96 h of fasting, rats were allowed access to food. (Upper) Anti-AQP9 immunoblot of liver membranes from three rats after indicated time of refeeding. (Lower) Scanning densities of anti-AQP9 immunoblot. Values represent mean ± SD from three rats.
