Fig 7. The effect of simvastatin treatment on the AMPK Thr172 phosphorylation and total AMPK protein expression.

Fig 7

Rats were treated with vehicle (Control) or simvastatin at 60 (Sim 60) and 80 mg.kg-1.day-1 (Sim 80) for 14 days. Muscles were collected and subjected to Western blot analysis with the indicated antibodies as described in the Methods. Values for total AMPK were normalised to GAPDH. All values are expressed as arbitrary units (AU). *—significantly different from Control. Mean ± SEM. n = 8/group. One way ANOVA with Newman-Keul’s post-hoc test. P < 0.05.
