Octreotide promotes the phosphorylation of Akt and GSK3β and the expression of GS mRNA in rats with HFD-induced obesity. (A) Western blotting images of p-Akt (Ser473) and (B) quantification of band intensities. (C) Western blotting images of p-GSK3β (Ser9) and (D) quantification of band intensities. (E) The level of GS mRNA. Data presented as the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. *P<0.05 vs. control group; #P<0.05 vs. HFD group. p-Akt, phosphorylated-Akt; p-GSK3β, phosphorylated-glycogen synthase kinase 3β; GS, glycogen synthase; HFD, high fat diet; IOD, integrated optical density.
