Figure 6. Insulin resistance properties of rat hepatocytes (HPC) co-cultured with adipose tissue explants from epididymal adipose tissue (eWAT) and inguinal adipose tissue (iWAT).
A: Incorporation of [U-14C]glucose into glycogen in HPCs with the presence of insulin. B: Expression levels of genes regarding cellular glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in HPCs. β-actin was used as a reference gene. * and **, P<0.05 and P<0.01 vs control value, respectively. †, P<0.05 vs eWAT co-culture group value.
