Figure 7.

Expression of glucose related genes of control and GDM rats. GLUT-2, GLUT-4, IRS-2, and AKT-1 levels were lower in the GDM group than control. The opposite was true for PCK-1. Data shown as mean ± SD of four rats. For each parameter, a value with the asterisk signifies P < 0.05 and the absence of asterisk indicates otherwise. P value less than 0.05 was designated with one (∗) asterisk, P value less than 0.01 was designated with two (∗∗) asterisks, and P value less than 0.0001 was designated with four (∗∗∗∗) asterisks.
