Figure 6

Hepatic gluconeogenesis and glycogen storage.

Notes: The hepatic PEPCK expression evaluated by immunostaining (A) and Western blotting (B) was significantly increased in the diabetic rat compared with that in the control rat. The glycogen concentrations in the liver (C) were significantly increased in the diabetic rats compared with that in the control rats. ARB treatment significantly restored the hepatic glycogen levels. The bar indicates 50 μm. *P<0.01 versus control, P<0.05 versus DM. N=5–7 in each group.

Abbreviations: ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; PEPCK, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase; DM, diabetes mellitus.
