FIG. 7.
Immunoblot analysis comparing abundance of desmin (A) and alpha actinin-2 (B) content in skeletal muscle biopsies from lean (□), obese nondiabetic (), and type 2 diabetic (■) (n = 7 each). Density values from blots were expressed relative to PDLIM6 protein determined on the same blots and were normalized for each protein to the mean value of the lean controls, expressed as 100%. Representative blots from lean, obese, and diabetic subjects (two of each) are shown in the inset for both proteins. Data are shown as means ± SE. *P < 0.05 vs. lean control values.
