Effect of lipoic acid on HFD-induced alterations in the expression of glucose transporters and the insulin signaling. Expression of (A) membrane associated GLUT3 and GLUT4; (B) Total levels of GLUT3 and GLUT4. (C) Representative western blots of brain tissue from control, +lipoic acid, HFD, and HFD + lipoic acid with (+) or without (−) ex vivo insulin stimulation. Na+/K+ ATPase and β-actin were used as loading control for membrane fraction and whole homogenate. Data presented as mean ± SD respectively, n ≥ 3 animals, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
