Table 3. Activation of insulin signaling in gonadal WAT, muscle and liver of male and female mice.

pAkt/tAkt% of saline-injected groups was set at 100%, and pAkt/tAkt% of insulin-injected groups was calculated relative to saline-injected groups within the same sex and diet. pAkt/tAkt% of saline- and insulin-injected animals was listed at upper and lower rows respectively within each cell. An unpaired two-tailed t test was performed.
