Figure 7. Effects of diabetes on PKCζ and phospho-PKCζ expressions in the renal cortex.

Figure 7

(A) and (C); Western blot analysis for PKCζ and phospho-PKCζ in the membrane and cytosolic fractions of renal cortical tissues in control, diabetic (DM) and diabetic with insulin-treated (DM-treated) rats, respectively. (B) and (D); The signal intensity of PKCζ and phospho-PKCζ in the membrane and cytosolic fractions normalized to β-actin, respectively. Na+-K+-ATPase and β-actin expressions were used as a membrane marker and loading control, respectively. β-actin for the membrane fractions of PKCζ (A) and phospho-PKCζ (C) were obtained from the same membrane/loading protein. Bar graphs indicate means ± SEM from five independent experiments. **p<0.01, compared to control; ## p<0.01, compared to diabetes.
