Figure 7. Effect of glucose deprivation on distribution and expression of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) on the plasma membrane of astrocytes.

Figure 7

A. After cultured in glucose deficient media for 6 h, astrocytes showed a selective spotted staining of AQP4 on the plasma membrane. B. Western blot analysis of the water channel protein in rat cortical astrocytes that underwent glucose deprivation (GD, DMEM0)/glucose reinfusion (GR, DMEM5.5). No significant change of the total cell protein expression of AQP4 was detected after GD/GR (n = 3, p>0.05). DMEM, Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium.
