Figure 3. Insulin action in adipose tissues.

(a,b) Western blots of the indicated total and phospho-proteins in whole-tissue lysates prepared from pgWAT (a) and sWAT (b). Male Rictor^fl/fl (WT) and Rictor^Adipoq-Cre (KO) mice (8–10 weeks old) were fasted for 6 h and then injected with insulin (0.75 U kg⁻¹) for 15 min before collecting samples. Quantifications are shown below. n=3 or 4. Values are expressed as mean+s.e.m. (c) Western blot of indicated total and phospho-proteins in mature adipocytes isolated from the pgWAT of Rictor^fl/fl (W) and Rictor^Adipoq-Cre (K) with or without inulin stimulation.
