Effect of in vivo treatment with vehicle (DMSO) or ciglitazone on phosphorylated form of Akt in lung nuclear extracts. (A), Representative western blot of phosphorylated form of Akt. I. Sham II. vehicle treatment. III. ciglitazone treatment. (B), image analysis of nuclear content of phosphorylated form of Akt as determined by densitometry. The fold increase was calculated vs. the respective sham value (time zero), which was set at 1.0. Each data point represents the mean ± SEM of 3 to 5 rats.
