Acute effect of shizukaol F on gluconeogenesis and hepatic AMPKa phosphorylation in C57BL/6 J mice. Mice were treated as described in methods. In the pyruvate tolerance test, blood glucose levels (A) were measured. **P < 0.01 (one way ANOVA). n = 6 independent biological replicate experiments; (B) AUC was calculated (n = 6), **P < 0.01, two-tailed Student t-test. (C) Hepatic p-AMPKa and AMPKa were analyzed by immunoblotting and quantified as relative optical density (D). **P < 0.01, two-tailed Student t-test. n = 6 independent biological replicate experiments.
