Figure 3. GLUT1 is up-regulated in SIRT6-KO retina.
a) GLUTl immunoreactivity in cross-section of WT and SIRT6-KO mice retina. Ganglion Cell Layer (GCL), Inner Plexiform Layer (IPL), Inner nuclear Layer (INL) Outer Plexiform Layer (OPL), Outer Nuclear Layer (ONL), Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE). GLUT1 protein (b) and mRNA levels (c) were determined by Western blot and RT-PCR respectively. β-actin was used as loading control. Data are mean ± SE (n = 6 eyes/group) **p<0.01
